Cichlids in Planted Ripariums

[hydrophyte]

I'm sure they're out there hydro, but make with the updates. ^_^

I just went through a lfs with 20+ species of cories, and matching plecos... The urge to try new species is growing. ie - walking through a shop and randomly seeing a 6" vampire pleco, gold nugget, etc, back to back.

Curious to see the mangrove tank mature.

I have finally gotten back to work on my tanks and I do have a few updates to share.

To comment specifically about cichlids in riparium setups I did get the Steatocranus for my new high-humidity tank and the Thoricthys ellioti in my open-top 50G are looking good and growing up bigger.
