They will rearange literaly everything. If you want everything perfect than you dont want a fh.thats how i am and my fh dug up all the plants and dug under caves until they fell over so i got fed up and took everything out
 
I guess i will go with black background n black substrate to get as much color out the fh

That will make it look really dark, you want a blue background. If you want substrate go with either colorful gravel (green blue red mix etc) or river rock.
 
You just have to remember and I have to tell myself this all the time too. Its more important for the tank layout to meet the fishes needs than your vision. A bare tank is boring for fish. Just pick objects to heavy to be moved and put then on the glass so he cant dig under it. I own several large cichlids in communities and solo all have decorated tanks. Plants are the only thing I,have really gave up on.
