I tried to vent, and i came up with some odd results... Either i did this right and i have 8 females and no males, or i did it wrong and have 8 males and no females... Otherwise i am positive they would have bred by now. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

I said i didnt want to do venting if i didnt have to, is there anything else? I will try to vent, if i can catch the fish first lol. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

So i have honestly done research before starting this thread, just to make that clear, but i haven't found too much information on how to sex and breed labs. Some sources say the female is pale and the male has pointed fins, then other sources say the females can be the same color and also have...

But ideally cichlids require a bigger tank than a 40 breeder, i would wait and get a bigger tank personally... Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

You might want to rehome the johanni too they can be bad also... Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Call your lfs, just say you got the wrong fish, and you would like to return it or get store credit. Rehome the peacock and just get more zebras or rusties or something Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

You need to relocate those guys Unless you like watching cichlids tear each other to shreds. Those guys WILL kill every last fish in that tank... Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Look up auratus... They are yellow, but if they are a female they they turn blue... But that could take weeks, so its probably just stressed. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Is this the same fish from the second pic up top? This looks nothing like a lab... I have no clue what it is though... Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Ugh i am pretty unhappy with the setup... Gonna have to rescape it AGAIN now that i have all the materials and the right mentality lol.

Maybe a a better pic would help?

Ok, no live plants then, just some tall plastic ones in the back.

Maybe a better pic would help?

It is definitely a lab, its probably a female with very little color. How long ago did you get it?

That is a yellow lab. (Labidochromis caeruleus)

And is the tan one in the 2nd picture?

I think the orange one might be a zebra

Haha well i don't want to buy plants that will end up floating around the tank... Although i think it would look great. Not the floating around part

Haha i would definitely put some smaller rocks up front but 55 gallons are really narrow, i am going to put in the plants soon, i just wanted to male sure i liked where the rocks were first. I thought labs were ok with live plants though? Im not going to keep them with live plants but i thought...

Added some more rocks today.

Hey guys, i just finished rescaping my 55 gallon lab tank! I got some "mexican river stones" from my neighbor and made two rock piles, one on each side. It is definitely not final, but it is growing on me. Here it is! p.s. the floating green things on the right are lettuce.
