In the next few weeks we are going to start working on our 55 gallon, since we have found a stand my wife actually like for it. It was a community FW tank in our old home before we moved.
The tank is a 55 gallon long, has 2 Aqua Clear 70 filters 2 water heaters and air pump.
Since we need to stock it with fish we love the way cichlids look were thinking of stocking it with them not sure if African or South American. I know from the researching I have done in the past they like lots of hiding spots and like to dig so we are thinking of using sand as the substrate. How thick should it be for them? What would be the ideal plants for it.
I want to have the plants in and rooted before the first fish goes in the water.
