Cool! Definitely nice hiding spots were made. For me personally in my mind I see my tank being all one rock type

I like the natural look..more importantly with my african cichlids ...they dont play nice together and i need spots for the females and to help seperate territory with the males....

I would avoid lace rock for cichlids and it tends to be rough and sometimes have sharp edges. I lost a fish due to him being chased and getting hurt on the rock (also because I failed to spot that he had a bacterial infection because he got hurt). But with how cichlids are and how they like to chase each other around the tank I would avoid rock like that imo.

They seem to be happy with it. I'll keep a eye out for cuts.

Thanks

These are the thicker slate type rocks that I got from my local landscaping company.
