Post by: RichE on March 10, 2013, 07:33:08 PM

I just  picked up a40 gal high andwant to make is a live plant/cichlid tank

What are some easy maintenance plants and what would be some good cichlids for this size tank

I will being doing natural gravel/driftwood in the tank and dont want to mess with co2

With the gdas auction coming up i figured it might be a good place to start
