Don't order the yellow labs.. They are mbunas, african cichlids.. IMO , they will batter up your gourami.. If the one you have now is fine.. Leave it at that, the male will get aggressive at spawning and will probably stress to death most of your fish. They should be kept with other African cichlids, not community fish.

Thanks I researched them and it said they were semi aggressive and yes the same about spawning just thought if I got them while they where little they would not bother my other fish the one I have is great and eats shrimp out of my hand. Any more advice accepted

I like the variety in your decorating. My main concern is the stand you're using. It looks like an end table and the entire tank isn't being supported. This could lead to leaks, or worse. Are you certain the table can withstand the weight of your tank?

Little confused here. In your list you mention some that I see in the pics but in the later pics I see a bumble bee and a frontosa cichlid along with some angels. The mix of fish is not a good mix. Eventually the cichlids will pick if not kill the other fish. Mbunas are aggressive fish and usually barbs and angels become a snack for them, specially the frontosas that can get 10"
