I think what I'd do in this case would be to seek out some biotope 
images, and use these as a basis for a display.
A recent copy of Aqua-Geographia had a feature about the 
Santarem area, with some fantastic pics of the Cichlid fauna found 
there.
Real food for thought.
I also bought a Dwarf Cichlid book in German the other week which 
has in some absolutely superb images of Apisto's in their natural 
biotope and in naturalistic aquarium settings.
I hadn't heard of the book before, I think the author's name is 
Fiedler, but it's well worth getting hold of even if you can't read 
German.
Again, something to look at and think about visualizing how to 
reproduce this in the home aquarium.
