Hello group,

Just wanted to drop a line or two. After being out of the hobby for over 15 years, I have decided to kick start this amazing addiction, which I honestly don't remember how I stopped. After weeks of research and endless hours online trying to figured out if there was some type of support group to help restart this crazy habit i found something closed to home. Thank you for setting up this website and the association. There is definitely a lot that I need to catch up on and how it has evolved thanks to technology. i currently have a 36g front bow tank and just purchased a 55g to switch everybody over. i stopped with 5 mbuna cichlids, clown loach, two catfishes that I got from petsmart to concentrate on getting more uncommon or rare species from the local fish mom and pop stores in the area or even from this very forum. By the way, whats a good plant to add that will go along with cichlids and plecos?? Also, can I add driftwood? I've been told that it lower my ph. Many thanks and keep on swimming

What kind of cichlids? There are lots of them, and some eat plants and others don't.

In my experience, driftwood doesn't lower pH much, but it can vary. I keep wood in all of my tanks, without problem, but I have mostly fish that like soft water and lower pH.
