I will have lots of plants, and hopefully some nice pieces of driftwood if I can find some good pieces of driftwood at reasonable prices..

Look on eBay for a seller called decoymaker01 she sells some awesome pieces. Not cheap but well worth it I promise you. I got two medium pieces for my 15 gallon for $60 shipped.

I also like the coconut idea. I'm thinking of getting some for my tanks just for more options.

I wouldn't do it personally, but that's just me.

TCC, where do you like to buy dwarf cichlids online (borelli, cacs)
