150 gallon SA planted Riparium Cichlid setup refresh.

I know with my regular blue acara they haven't been able to uproot my lily plant so swords with their large root structures should fare similarily. Java fern and anubis however do not stay put unless securely fastened with a zip tie or fishing line.

All the fern is attached well to the wood. I agree on the swords.

I've gone with zip ties to either rocks or wood lately for my java fern. It works pretty well.

I use super glue. It is by far the easiest.

Superglue is definantly easier, but doesn't seem to hold up with how vigorously my male shakes the leaves. I had to take all the anubias out because he breaks off the leaves

Nice!

Thanks! Overall I'm happy with it, just wish my pair wasn't so rough on other cichlids
