New to cichlids, interested in starting a tank 55gallons or so, and am
wondering what kinds of setups are best. Malawi? Tanganika? I'd like
to have fish that stay relatively small (no oscars, please) and
possibly some plants, but beyond that I'm looking for suggestions on
where to start. I'd like to keep fish from relatively the same natural
locations.

Go for a Tanganyika tank but stick to the small rock dwellers and
avoid the mouthbrooders. Stack the rocks up to the surface. Most of
the small Neolamprologus will live and breed in the rocks and not
usually dig plants up.
