I am thinking about getting the umbrella cichlid. I was just wondering about decorations, can some people post their dwarf cichlid setup? I was also wondering on pots as decoratins and hide-outs?

Apistogramma borelli (the umbrella cichlid) is a great looking Apisto.. What color variant are you looking at? Depending on how many you are getting and the tank size will dictate the decor and set up. I would provide at least one cave, pot, or hiding place per fish. Add some rock work or driftwood and some live plants and you can basically go with that.

I like to use 4 inch sections of 1 inch pvc that I cover them with silicone and roll in sand to match the tank substrate.
