Cichlid tank for grandma!

I sure wouldn't put labs in a 30 gallon unless they are babies and you have plans to move them when they get bigger . . .

A better bet in a 30 gallon would be SA dwarf cichlids. A pair of blue rams or a trio of apistos with a school of tetras would be lovely, colorful and suitable for that size tank.

I 30 gallon could work for labs since they are pretty easy going. I would get AT LEAST 3 though. With only 2 they will pick at each other. I still think Ps. Saulosi is the best option for this size tank.
