Just started so what I have learnt so far Research and understand what you are doing It is not just a few fish add water and wallah You are creating a habitat and if done properly will reward you.

My Cichlid Tank Fully Cylced Stocked with 19 Malawi Cichlids
(Revised Plants and Background to highlite the Fish and rocks more ...Think it Has done the job.
Tried to keep it real by giving the fish lots of caves tunnels hiding spots and dark spots on different levels /depths BUT kept lots of "open water " and "open floor" so they can do their thing
