The crypts mgiht get beaten or dug up, depending on size, its easier to go with plants liek Anubias or java fgern that can be tied to rocks, etc.

I tried crypts in my tank, they were not very happy...dug up, yes, eaten, yes!  They survived fancy godlfish, but not africans.

I bought lots of plants on eBay.
These are the quantities and prices:

Anubias nana golden - 6, $18
Anubias barteri 'eyes' - 6, $18
Anubias Lanceolata, Devil's tongue - 6, $18
Anubias petite, King of Nana - 15, $52.5
Anubias barterie nana - 6, $18
Windelov's fern - 6, $18

Will plant my cichlid tank and another smaller NanoCube I have at the office. Should look nice.

I don't have the wood in my tanks, so I have nothing to tie them to. Rocks maybe?
