Thanks Jo, for always being so helpful. Yes EC, just as Jo said. BTW EC, where you got yr Tylochromis? I don't think I can keep that tbh >>

Tylochromis polylepis is a species of cichlid native to Lake Tanganyika as well as the Lukuga River where it prefers swampy habitats. This species can reach a length of 43.5 centimetres (17.1 in). I know probably can't reach to potential size in tank but still it will grow to be too huge!

No bud, that's just C0 coral sand, the one in the 4ft is finer than the one in the 3ft actually...even though both from same source and labelled as C0.

Specially brought in from Airfish by Aquaexotic.
Currently they are abt 5 inch, growth rate abt 2 inches in 1.5 years.
Guess I still can have a few years with them before they outgrow my tank
