Hey,

After having my platy tank for several months, i've gone and brought a second tank (i never thought fish could be so addictive, lol).
I'm considering buying a proven pair of Blockhead Cichlids from a local aquatics shop. The staff were very helpful with advice, and after doing some research on the internet today i've decided to buy them, hopefully tomorrow.
From reading various websites i've learnt that they prefer rocks, caves and various places to hide in etc. but am a little unsure of the best way to set up the tank. I have good ideas on how to design tanks... but as they seem to have strong requirements in that sense, i want to get it right.

Do you know of any websites that have good pictures of the ideal tank for them please?
Any help / advice is appreciated, thanks.
