ally07 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Can't go wrong with rocks and driftwood.. Easy to make caves and looks like a river bottom as well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee2 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Can't go wrong with rocks and driftwood.. Easy to make caves and looks like a river bottom as well.. agree with that and a decent amount of black substrate to complete with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Really depends on what sort of cichlids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Really depends on what sort of cichlids Or you could just say "organic and inorganic materials" for a suitable vague answer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidman2010 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Yeah i agree with rocks and driftwood. i think most of us do the rock thing as caves are essential to create a natural habitat. i found that in south and central american tanks, mostly driftwood looks the best. Not only does the wood make cool shapes and caves, but the water can stain a slightly yellow colour which i think looks cool with them ! Africans on the other hand look awesome and prefer rocks with most of the tank (or all) made of caves. It gives them places to hide, make their own territory and to breed in too Hope that helped a tad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 good quality fake plastic plants can be used with good effect i used aqua 1 xl anubias in this tank viewtopic.php?f=13&t=40235&p=450657&hilit=african#p450657 along with driftwood and rocks if it gets to covered in algae just boil it and put it back in the fish will clean it in no time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
