I'm planning on starting a 28 gallon bow front and was wondering what everyone thinks I sould put in it. As of now I'm thinking about making a cav tank for small African cichlids

One thing to think of are the actual dimensions of the tank. That may have a lot to do with which fish you select as some of them can be quite territorial.

A bow may work out well for viewing though .

I vote for a nice community layout, something with a nice variety but thats just my opinion.

I am a fan of the community idea myself, as evidenced by the stock in my profile for my 20g... I like variety, different "layers" of fish, color, etc....

And I think I am one who prefers a "natural" look to my tank, as opposed to brightly colored gravels and anchors, pirates popping out of treasure chests and spongebob squarepants decor... but, that's just me!

I think I'll definately do a natural setup... I agree that it looks much better. As for the fish I've never been a huge fan of community fish, always been a cichlid fan, but I very well may give it a try! I could definately go for some danios and I love skirt tetras. I can't promise I wont through a spongebob ornament in the tank for good measure tho!
