I am hoping to set up a cichlid tank in a few months so I'm searching for info oh what to get.

What type of cichlids can I get? (I prefer smaller fish nothing over 4in prefer less than 3in)

What type of substrate? Sand, gravel? Size of gravel? How deep?

Clean up crews? Petco guy said a CAE. I've always heard they are mean

Other tank mates, is there any fish that can be in the tank? Rafeal cat maybe?

Could I keep a Kribensis or two with my current 55 stock? Or Rams? I am moving those fish into a new planted tank. I read the kribs were okay in a community tank with lots of plants
