Re: Which plants are safe from cichlids?

Thanks everyone for the advice. I'm still relatively new to live plants, but I've really grown to appreciate their aesthetic and the role they play in maintaining a clean tank. I've since added them to a couple more tanks, and I have to say, it's been a great addition. The African tank is almost ...

Which plants are safe from cichlids?
