I did that Witt the two manzanita branches in my 36 and it looks much more natural.
One stem is hidden by rocks, the other comes out the top of the tank with the twigs on the gravel like roots.

I usually like to have it on the edge like it’s coming through the glass but the piece is to big for those ideas. Next time I will definitely do that tho. Thank you.
Looks like a cyanoguttatus or carpintis. Probably cyano (Texas cichlid).
green terrors and red hump geos look awesome in a tank with schooling fish. i think you should add a different color of pebble to make it looked like a more mixed natural substrate so its not white on black but thats just a personal thing. i think that having a variety of sized rocks makes a huge difference in how natural a tank looks. i also think that collecting all the rockwork from one place also helps keep an aesthetic nicely. one things with earth eaters and mixed sized substrate is that the bigger pebbles and river rocks always end up buried if you keep thick layers of substrate like me. here is one of my grow out tanks with manzanita. it also has some young red humps and a green terror.
rooibos tea is probably the cheapest way to keep your water dark thats i what i use in the fall to darken my biotope tanks just dont add it too quickly ive lost loaches that way. keeping the water dark with botanicals is extremely hard/expensive if youre doing enough water changes.
Thank you for the suggestions. But I found out I’m moving in August so I don’t wanna finish setting this up until we move. I’ll definitely come back to this tho.
