Could i put a few live plants with my kennyis, and red zebras? I was looking to fill it in a little more, and i wanted a little color. So instead of another rock i was thinking maybe a plant or tow would look good. What do you all think would the cichlids destroy the plants, or would the plants have a chance?

Thanks!

4You could try some Anubias and Java Fern. Both should be attached to something...like on rocks. I'm assuming you have low light though. If you have more than stock lighting, you might could try some Vallisneria. My Mbuna leave them alone. But mine are just surviving in my light (about 64 watts over a 55g).

Yeah it is very low light tank, actually i heard that the plants would be a good part of the fishes diet. I don't know about these fish, but i tried a small low light plant, (not sure what it is) and they aren't destroying it yet.

Thanks again!
