    New African Cichlid tank. Rocks?

    Hiding spots are always good, in my opinion it's more about moving things around to lessen aggression. As they get older they will claim a spot for themselves, by moving things around every week or 2 they don't get that chance. Mbunas need these hiding spots more than the peacocks and haps...
