Nice tank, do you have a full tank shot?

Looks good, how big is the tank? fake drift wood right? How do you keep your pH up?

A Jack dempsey, female kenyi, and convict? Correct? Nice fish

Thanks guys! 60 gallon with fake drift. Yup I have more pictures...I have some Seachem Neutral regulator for the ph.

I love those Yellow tail Acei! And the tank is very nice. My segguestion would be more rock and cave work. But nice job!

Thanks Jason! What kind of plants would you all recommend?

 

[Jason7894561230]

Java fern and anubias also thin val

 

[cichlid.greenhorn]

Unless you have purchased some good lighting. Some low light stuff like java fern would be good. It's hardy and shouldn't be planted but attached to drift wood or rocks. Some African cichlids will just dig up plants in the substrate or eat them.

So fake plants?

 

[Jason7894561230]

Yeah they are best

 

[hyperdub]

Right on! I will look on amazon for some now.

Yea fake plants is the way to go with cichlid, but if your going Lake Malawi which it seems you are, i always prefer that look...not many plants and mostly rocks. I like the main plant you have in there already. Just more rocks/caves.

And those yellow tail acei's are gorgeous, I've been looking for some at my LFS but no luck yet

I recognize your log. I have the same one and it's their favorite decor in my tank.
