What size is your tank? Electric yellows (Labidochromis caeruleus) are from Lake Malawi and as a general rule, you don't want to mix lakes. They are one of the least aggressive Malawi cichlids, so I would suggest avoiding some of the more aggressive species. Also, do not mix them with new world cichlids like convicts and firemouths. Here is a wonderful site with info on lots of Malawi cichlids: http://malawimayhem.com -Chelle [This message has been edited by t_chelle16 (edited 03-02-2004).] IP: Logged |

My yellow labs do great with a mix of mbuna and peacocks. I'd get what you think is attractive, but stick with africans. I have a couple red zebra and cobalt and they are always mouth brooding and the babies hide in holeyrock (limestone) until they get bigger. They are wonderful fun, though a lot of water changes are necessary (at least once a week). IP: Logged |

For a 29 gallon, you could probably fit another 3 or 4 africans in there (assuming their max size is about 5"). -Chelle IP: Logged |
