Nice! Post pictures, cuz there are a lot of blue and a lot of yellow cichlids! And small tip: usually, plants don't do well with africans. It has been done before successfully, but many times the africans will just rip the plants up and out of the ground! I'm just warning you because it is a common thing.

They don't due well with the fish from the rift lakes true, but the cichlids from west Africa are very at home in planted tanks.

Just hooked up some pics, can you keep opal one gouramies with cichlids? I've seen people keep large gourmies with cichlids before. And the one that looks plain and striped is my krebensis he is scared still haha
