What kind of plants or decor and stuff should i put in the tank that african cichlids will like, and is there anything i should know about taking care of the cichlids. fm4493 2009-02-21 Answer no. 1 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=help#2 You will need plenty of rock work to create hiding places etc. What species of cichlids are you getting as some will destroy any plants that you add mickey 2009-02-22
