Hi Folks,

We recently moved and tore down our aquarium, and it is time to get it
starting again. It was a community tank with lots of plants, but I want to
do something a little different when I get going again.

I am thinking cichlids which I understand needs lots of hiding places and
rocks, but are they compatible with plants?

Any recommendations on good fish for a 55gal tank? I am looking for a lot of
color and small to medium size fish that are not excessively aggressive or
require live food.

Is there anything special I need in the way of filtration or water
conditions?

Thanks


Cichlid form is a good place of articles for all sorts of cichlid
fish. This link gives suggestions for what kind of fish would work
in a 55-gallon: http://cichlid-forum.com/articles/cookie_cutter_55g.php
