Buddy, this is a cichlid setup. May be posted in the wrong section.
Plus Cichlid setup generally don't suit plants so it may be a little difficult for anyone to advise you as to what should be done unless you wanna be poisoned into the Aquascapping hobby 😜 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Bro, you can try getting anubias afzelii & bolbitis plants if you are looking to decorate your tank with flora, the above are native to Africa, hence can simulate their biotope.....
On a side note, you may want to consider removing the tilapia buttikoferi, it will outgrow the tank mates soon..... |

Need sand.
Get rid of the 'Man Made' stuff. Get some rocks. Get a canister filter. |

Your only Filtration are from the Internal Filters ?
I suggest changing to a Canister filter and an Internal Air blower to improve water circulation and better facilitate the high bioload coming out from Cichlids. Remove Plastic Plants & Man-made pots/decorations. Get a lot more rocks. NATURAL Rocks. Lim Chu Kang area near to Qian Hu has a place that sells them. Get a lot more gravel sand [I suggest DARK colored sand because IMHO, I think it brings out cichlid colors] Plants you can consider to have in your tank: 1) Java Fern (Stuff it into your Rocks) 2) Java Moss (Attach it to Your Rocks) 3) Anubias Barteri var. 'Coffefolia' 4) Anubias Barteri var. 'Nana' 5) Cryptocoryne Wendtii [People have had luck with this in High PH waters] 6) Amazon Sword This list may help you better: http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/plants_102.php A setup I feel may be something you like is here: http://www.fmueller.com/aquaristic/2...tures-1800.jpg Good Luck and May the inspiration be with you |
