Ordered the H.O.T. HOB Canister Filter and installed it two days ago. Also, got some new African Root Wood for the right side of my tank. The tank is filling out pretty nice.

Here are some more updates:

Added quite a few more plants and some more African Root Wood.

There are six Colombian Tetras in the tank.

get a packet of java moss or some cool christmas or fire moss and let it grow on your wood ornaments. i tied it down with rubberband and it grew all over the place. very gorgeous.

i love cichlids, they love moving gravel and make their own little caverns.

I've kept a few different kinds of cichlids. Bolivian Rams, Keyholes, and Bandits. I will be putting a pair of Angels in my 55 gallon.
