Thanks for the suggestion Susan! I had considered some Vals, but I've  
read that they have some trouble in a sandy substrate, and my mbuna  
love digging so much I don't think I'd be able to keep them anchored.   
With the anubias, I can just tie them onto or jam them between some of  
my many rocks.  And I don't have to worry about my aquascaping  
becoming an all you can eat buffet.

Here are a couple photographs of my tanks
        The 29 which I find impossible to photograph due to the curve of the  
glass (and only actinic lights being on at the time)

        The 75, which I'm equally bad at photographing.  I'll blame that on  
the camera.  ;)

Any other suggestions as far as plants that would be happy in 8.0-8.2  
pH water?
