    Texas and Red Texas?

    I was wondering what size of tank I would need to house a Texas and a red texas cichlid. And I'm not that experienced with plants. Could I get a few plants to root on some drift wood and would they survive? And how would the two cichlids interact?

    I'm lost....

    So, I have decided to take the leap and switch from plastic to real plants, but the switch was much harder than I anticipated. This tank will have a bichir, a low light fish.
