Baby socolofi and labs

[prettypleco]

I had to go to a local chain to replace a heater. While there [ never been there before ] i checked out their fish. Not to bad. They had a tank of unidentified baby fish. I bought these 4 for a $1. I think they are snow white socolofi and yellow labs. Am i correct?

They are in a 5 gal quarantine tank. They are really small about 1/2 inch. I guess i have to go buy a tank for them now. I have my eye on a 125 gal euro tank...

Here are some pics i just took. Cute aren't they?

Yes definitely yellow labs, I think you are correct about the socolofi too. That is a steal! The cheapest I've seen yellow labs around here is $6.99 (for 1). *thumbsups

Petco. The fish looked healthy and well cared for.

Any one have these guys? Any tips?

Don't feed them high protein food.............they can get malawi bloat. I have 3 yellows and a blue socolofi (among others). I feed them lots of Spirulina and also Cichlid balls. They are very fun to watch. Yellow Labs (to me) seem to be one of the least aggressive cichlids.
