I already have a breeding pair of angelfish and a breeding pair of convicts in separate tanks. I like the idea of congo tetras, are there any other types of tetras i could get???

I have looked but never seen kribs at any of my LFS, i like electric yellow labs. Is there any way to sex them??? I dont want to end up with more males than females

[Bambinojake]

I would really like to stick with electric yellow labs, they seem like a good fish with a good personality for my tank, all my jacobfreibergis do is hide all day.

[Fishman007]

Yep good chose

[Fishman007]

If you catch them in a net the male will have to small holes on his belly and the female will have 1 small hole and a big one

No problem

[Fishman007]

Set up an album on your yellow labs when youve got them

[Bambinojake]

I will!

[Fishman007]

Cool when will you get them also acclimate them for 30 mins because there delicate

[Fishman007]

Did you get the labs?

[Bambinojake]

I said i would get them when i get back from my vacation, otherwise why risk them dying. I have not even started the trip yet.

[Bambinojake]

And how many labs should i get???

[Fishman007]

They like the company of each other so 4-6 of them would make them very happy just provide lots of rock work so they can hide and play
