My friend and I are looking to start a cichlid 55 gallon over the summer that would be mostly for breeding, but we of course want it to look nice.
I am leaning towards a sand bottom but I would think that would be more expensive. What do you guys think? What's more economical and what's better for plants like swords and such and what's best for cichlids?
Also, what plants are best for cichlids and are there any other suggestions you guys have for breeding cichlids, or cheap ways to get tanks? We were looking on craigslist and we're willing to do plenty of work to clean anything up if it'll save us money.
Thanks for any suggestions!
