Electric Yellow Labs for 30 gal. tank?

[peacefulwarrior]

Hi. I'm currently cycling a 30 gal. tank, (36x12x16), and I'd like to stock it with Electric Yellow Labs... 'this is my first aquarium, and I've run into some confusion while researching the Labs: some sites say 30gal.tank is okay (species specific), some sites say 50gal. min tank, and some say 75gal. min tank. Why is the information all over the place? Also, some sites say the Electric yellow Labs reach 3to4 inches... others 5to6 inches. Is there anyone here that has experience with the Electric Yellows and can shed some light on the topic? Thanks.

SouthAmericanCichlids So are you saying that I need to learn how to have conversations with the Electric yellow Labs at my local fish store? " Hey there little fella... what do you think about living in a 30 gallon aquarium with 7 females of your kind? ( I'm just playing. And I get the Biblical reference... Job is my favorite book in the bible.) Thanks.

30 gallons is way too small. 40 gallons is minimum, but a larger tank is so much better. 50 and 55 gallons are great. 30 gallon tanks are perfect for dwarf cichlids.

The fish guy we hired at my old workplace built us a colony of yellow labs in a 29g tank. They all died if that helps
