Hi tankers,
This is a tank I've had for a few months. I loved it. This picture is very poor, but you get the idea. It was stocked with 12 longfin white clouds.

Now, in the wake of a possible leak in another tank, I've done a lot of livestock swapping. Last night I removed the white clouds, added warm water and a heater, and placed my 2 african butterfly cichlids, a bolivian ram, a school of black phantom tetras, and cories into the tank for today.
To my pleasant surprise, I really liked how the tank looked with the cichlids!
I wanted to get some ideas on possibly switching this 20g into a west african style tank. I want to keep the rock work the same.
I think some malaysian driftwood and oak leaves will transform it. I do not have access to a lot of driftwood, but I have some.
Plants? I only have anubias, crypt wendtii, dwarf sag, and a couple jungle vals at my disposal.
Or no plants and just hardscape items?
Thanks!
