Don't take this offensively, but I'd rethink your stock. A red zebra will easily out grow a 15 in a matter of a few months, if that. Rift lake cichlids (OSS from lakes Malawi, Victoria, and and Tanganyika) generally require at least 55 gallons, the main exception being certain tanganyikan species, and obviously there are MANY species that require larger tanks

These two are going in to my 55 gallon as soon as they hit 2-3 inches as all of my other Africans are 3-4 inches.

Yeah. It's pretty hard to find fish the size that I have.

Look into nano fish, there's some awesome species for small tanks! Plus you could do shrimp, and if you start feeling adventurous, plants too one of my favorite fish are chili rasboras, a tiny schooling fish.

I might try that in one of my other tanks.

I have three, but I'll more than likely be tearing them down in the next month because of a job opportunity, they can be a lot of fun
