Should be fine once a bit bigger. I’d also be careful cichlids and planted tanks don’t mix well.
Even potted plants but can try as they are a peaceful cichlid.Is that still the case with potted plants?
I was thinking of just putting a few pots of assorted things in so I can top the soil with pebbles kind of like you do with succulents.
I've done this in the past with goldfish who are just the worst with plants, particularly when spawning. I had one goldfish that used to dig root tabs out of the substrate and try and eat them before I moved to pots.
Maybe try the classic java fern and Anubis combination, it's what I've had with peaceful cichlids such as acaras and always done well. Other plants not so much.
Yeah they are, and this one is the biggest. ?They're tiny!!!
