Question
Hello...i have recently been very keen to keep African cichlids..so far i have 6 1'' yellow lab cichlids. What else can i stock with it.

I would be hoping something on with blue color.

Answer
Hi Subhadeep,
There are hundreds of species of blue East African cichlids that you could keep with the yellow labidochromis. The key is the size of your tank, and most importantly, the amount of structure in it. You want LOTS and LOTS of rockwork to create many hiding spaces, not just one or two or three. The more hiding spaces, the better your fish will get along with each other.
