very kool i love yellow labs! i have six 5 inch + yellow labs in a 90 gallon tank and was thinking of adding a bunch of other african cichlids. do they mix well with central american cichlids? what water parameters do you keep them in?

Ours are doing fine so far. The ca cichlids are doing fine with our labs even though the labs are bigger. Believe it or not the convicts (the smallest in the tank) are the most aggressive.
As for the water, we are just now at the end of cycling the aquarium. We are currently at 0ppm. ammonia, 0ppm. nitrite, aprox. 20 nitrate, with a ph of 6.5 to 6.8 and temp at 80F.
 
Nice Rocks and fish. I'd change the background to a solid color you tanks contents will stand out more. :thumbsup:
 
Nice tank!
