Satanoperca acuticeps

You could try some silk plants, but I'll be honest... my pandas destroyed everything. They even ate the sponges off my sponge filters and you could see teeth marks in the driftwood. They love to graze and chew.

Dang! They were picking on a piece of Poret I use as prefilter for an AC70 today. I thought they were eating leftover food stuck on the Poret. I guess they were actually eating the thing!
 
I've been doing some reading, and as always, I hear these are prone to HITH and bloat. Have you noticed any issues with feeding them typical pellets or frozen foods? I would try these guys, but my pH is in the mid 7s and I don't know how Satanoperca would react to that. It hasn't been a problem for any of the fish here so far, but I know they have a reputation for being more sensitive.
 
Got the back and sides of a 20 long painted (badly) and went to my storage unit yesterday and picked up a bunch of river rocks. Also bought some Seachem Stability that JK47 recommended. Just can't find a piece of light colored driftwood I'm looking for though.
