COMMENTS

I really wanted to redo my tank soon with some white sand, rock piles and some vallisneria and no other plants. I'm going to try that out and learn my lesson on my own. Thanks for the heads up though fish avatar
oh, and nice tank! lol fish avatar
My advice when it comes to the cichlids is... stick to plastic plants.. no point in doing real plants which get dug up or torn to shreds pretty quickly.. fish avatar
