Yellow Lab Question

[Pckerfreak44]

I have a 29 gal long with fake plants java moss and some rocks,decor and 2 filters. I was thinking about adding a few yellow labs. maybe 2? since my bloodfin tetras all died mysteriously . So im going to have the 2 yellow labs, 2 ghost shrimp 2 corys, 1 dwarf gourami and 2 kuhli loaches. Maybe 2 platys im not sure if i want to keep them or get rid of them yet. Will i run into any problems?

Your going to have big problems

The fake plants they will just dig up no matter how many times you put them back in.
The ghost shrimp will be food
And not sure about the other fish

Plus they require different water and breed like no other.

hmm okay... how about instead, i get bolivian rams? im actually kind of interested in breeding them.

Those may be a better choice. They are a new world cichlid and I can't help you with those. So I'd start a new thread
