Species: Yellow Lab (Labidochromis caeruleus)
Bristlenose Plecos (Ancistrus temminckii)

How many: 1m 1f for the labs, still growing out
1m 2f for the plecos, still growing out

How long trying: n/a

Any successful spawns already: the female lab mated with a peacock twice by accident, whoops (still growing out the fry to see what they look like)

Set up: Labs will be place together in a 10 and the male removed back to the main tank once the deed in done, will upgrade as they get larger. Plecos in a 46 bowfront with africans. If i cannot successfully breed them thats ok, my intent is more with the labs.

Any triggers/other information: I don't see many yellow labs very often in my area, and if i do they arent very good quality. I am trying to bring back higher quality in my area.
