Hello my name is Lou, this is the first time I have posted on this site (I am usually over with the betta folk) so if this is in the wrong spot feel free to move...
I am very much interested in keeping cichlids Mbuna rock dwellers particularly the electric yellow lab. I have a few questions as I am hard pressed to find reliable information elsewhere.
1) I have a particularly unimpressive fish history mainly goldfish and betta's in cycled tanks how hard are yellow labs? But you must remember that I have been spent most of the last year researching various fish and I feel very confident I could handle the theoreticle side of most freshwater fish keeping.
2) what can I keep with them later on down the track I heard blue peacocks are good but I have also heard they are not for beginners, I would like something similiar in size with varying colours.
3) what is the minimun tank size and what is the minimum number of fish that can be kept together I know they are a bit aggressive and overcrowding may be needed to reduce singling out. Could you give me some more information about that?
I think that's pretty much it for now, really sorry about the length!
