Aiight, here's my problem,
I am going to upgrade to a 20 gallon soon, probably a 20 long, and a nice centerpiece fish would be a GBR. I have heard that they are EXTREMELY hard to keep, and will seemingly die of nothing in even the best of tanks. This would be my first cichlid, and I want to know if I COULD keep it alive for more than a few days. Feeding would be no problem, as I have experience with picky eaters (my dwarf puffer only eats live black worms). I need some expert opinion on whether or not I could do it. Oh, and the only other tank mates would be 5x cories and maybe some shoaling fish. (probably going to be tetras) Are they really that hard to keep? I would be doing regular water changes, and the tank will be planted moderately. As always, thank you for the replies!!!

PS: The picture that might be attached is of my current 10 gallon, don't know if it is going to work
