Tank Setting For Jade Eyed Cichlids?

[minnnt]

Thinking of setting up a tank for my Jade Eyeds. Thinking of a 36" x 12" x 15" tank which would equate to roughly 100 litres. How would you decorate it? I have had them in my main tank, but due to my Ellioti and a breeding pair of HRP's i haven't seen them for quite a while. They're not a true pair, but i'm hoping they might become this. What would be the best substrate to use? Should i do quite a rocky setting with hidey holes, caves etc or one with alot of open space? Bogwood? Plants? Would they eat them if i went planted? I am also thinking of adding a few other fish such as maybe a group of 3 or 5 Purple/Blue Emperor tetras? Would this work?

Thanks.

David.

I would do sand with bogwood and plants. I think I have read they don't harm plants.

Ok thanks. I may just leave him in there and get a pair of Sajicas though... absolutely love them!

Would you recommend the same kind of set up for Sajicas?

I actually am going to do something similar with my sajicas. They should be fine.
