Wow!! I have been looking at the pictures in the gallery and I realized that my tank is not so well decorated. Now I know I can't even come close to Travis Simpson’s 125gal mbuna tank but I would like to emulate it. At this point I can’t afford the filtration, lighting and CO2 injector that he has.
I have a 90 gal with 13 L. Cearuleus & 4 fry, 5 C. Moorii, 2 N. Venustus, 2 I. Sprengerae, 2 Red Empress, 1 unidentified Mbuna and 1 Peacock with a slightly deformed tail. Substrate is Eco-complete African cichlid sand and lots of large river rocks stacked on both ends. Filtration is 1 Fluval 404 and an AC 300. Ph is 7.8, and Hardness is around 18. Temp is 78.
What I want to do now is add some plants. I have put together a list of possibilities. Cold anyone tell me if any of these are going to be OK. One of the things I want to accomplish is partial ground cover. Would any plants take roots in the sand? If none of these are going to work, could anyone suggest anything else?
Vesicularia Dubyana
Ceratopteris Cornuta or thalictroides
Microsorum pteropus
Ludwigia repens ''Rubin''
Lilaeopsis brasiliensis
Echinodorus angustifolius
Eleocharis ''parvula'' or acicularis
Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea'
Thank You for any suggestions
