Hi everyone,
So I'm in the process of gathering equipment to setup a 50Gal Cichlid tank. My initial thought was Malawi Cichlids because I've had success with them in the past.
However this time I'm looking at having plants in the tank too. Some people have suggested Lake Tanganyika cichlids instead. So I'm looking for some suggestions for species that would be good in a 50Gal Planted tanks.

Cheers
Dean
