the best plants? fake plants....lol....cichlids usually will uproot and rip apart most plants, so fake plants are the way to go.

Ya! You have a big tank!! 1 bag of gravel wont sufice!!

Oh ya.

Try 1,2,3,4 or 5 live plats. This is a good way to go. Other wise I would get mainly fake plants.

Also, try getting a large castle.
