Could anyone tell me how big they would get to. I will list the breeds below

Red Top Zebra’s
Bumble Bee
Electric Yellows
Golden
Electric Johanni
Cobolt Blue
Nyererei
Haps

Do they all grow to approx the same size or are different breeds likely to grow to different sizes?

Thanks in advance…

Ive been looking at pictures from lake Malawi and noticed that it is a sand bottom with lots of rocks. did i do a good thing or should i change it?
