hey all new to the forum and id like some help. Im starting up a new 25 gallon tank that I would have only cichlids in. I have some experience with fish tanks. I currently have a 2 gallon aquarium with some small fish (needed small because i took it to and from college), and a larger tank...

What kind of oddball fish could I get for a 25 gallon. Blind cave tetras are out. Mom thinks there kinda gross. The tank is high pH.

For aquascaping my tank what would be: Carpet plant Background Plants to attach to driftwood And possible low light and fast growing Thank you!
