 | Addition to Labs |
Mr Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 304 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-Jul-2003   | I have a 30gal tank with 3 yellow labs. They are small (the male is 1.5" and the females are 1"  and are very timid. In another tank I have a school of Tiger Barbs, 4 regular, 6 green and I was wondering if these two make good tank mates? |

I would leave the Yellow Labs on their own & wait till they become bigger & maybe breed. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |
