Well for a three feet tank, i would like to say that your frontosas will not have the best of space. Heck...even a 4ft tank is considered small. They can be aggressive towards one another and a 3-4ft tank is not considered spacious. They can get real big. 5 feet would be a minimum requiremnt for a group or if u still want, 3ft for a single fish.

For 3ft, the best cichlids will have to be mbunas, tropheus (for pros only), julidochromis, lamprologines and all small fishies. These are usually small sized so won't need much of a big space.

CC do have some nice stocks...u can ask him to bring for you if he goes to Penang...
