I don't have a picture right now, but I have a 20g with some mollies (going to be rehomed), a rainbow cichlid, a ram cichlid, 2 DGs, 6 zebra danios, 6 black neon tetras, and a peacock gudgeon.
And I have a 55g with a Jewel Cichlid, Gold Gourami, Snakeskin Gourami, Green Kissing Gourami, 2 Giant Danios, 3 Rock Kribs , 8 Australian Rainbowfish, Opaline Gourami, Bristlenose Pleco, Green Severum, Pearl Gourami, Convict Cichlid, Anubias on Driftwood, Moneywort, Amazon Sword,and 3 Lava Rocks.
 
This is my first ever cichlid tank. It has been up and running since Christmas and I love it. It's really coming together. I'm thinking of swapping out some ocean rock for som granite.

If there is anything people could suggest I do or advice on the hard scaping. I'm all ears.

My 120 gallon. Consists a variety of cichlids; 5 jack dempseys (genders uknown), 3 auratus (1 male, 2 female), 2 bumblebees, a large parrot as well as a Bala shark and two large plecos. I have a small 20 gallon as well that is currently housing another male auratus who didn't blend to well with the larger male in my big tank. He is currently recuperating from a near death experience...
