What big cichlid with SAE and plants? 220g

May get a pleco instead. That should increase the options a bit.

You people with big fish - Don't your tanks get full of brush algae and the like? I depend on lots of fastgrowing plants and SAE.

I remember people writing pl*co, not pleco. Has this gone out of fashion?

in my planted tanks, I have always kept SAEs . . . I had no problems keeping them with medium-sized cichlids, notably Blue Acara, Port Acara, Firemouth, Convict, Salvini, and Texas (although I never fully trusted that Salvini) . . . my EBJD has also behaved himself (so far)

I also kept both JD and GT in planted tanks w/o any uprooting or destruction, as long as you keep plants that are tough or not very edible (java ferns, anubias, swords, crispus, aponogeton, etc.) . . . they also did not eat my SAEs, though they might have wanted to . . .

Lol, no. We keep a regularly scheduled waterchange and have established bacteria colonies. Plus planted tanks with no co2 will experience a much worse algae bloom due to the high lighting.
