alright, so just to make sure, i'm going to have:

1m/3f red zebras
1m/3f snow white socolofi
2m/6f yellow labs

so far i have 2m/1f labs (i think anyways), and 1m/1f snow white socolofi. the labs have NOT started breeding yet. . . so that makes me wonder if i don't really have 3 females? (i know i don't have 3 males because they don't try to rip each other apart) and the female socolofi tends to beat up my male pretty bad, but since i moved them into the 75gal i am hoping that the extra room will allow her more freedom so she will stop picking on him. i have NO IDEA WHAT-SO-EVER where to get more snow white socolofi, but when i go up to aquatic warehouse next weekend to get my red zebras i will look to see if they have then there, and if they don't, then i'll have to rethink what to do because i can not find them at petsmart or petco. . . unless i can get petco to special order some? will they do that?
 
They should order them for you. The list looks good. Make sure to have plenty of hiding places for them.
 
I started with a list very similiar to yours only I went 1 to 1 ratios. I also bought when them when they were still very young. Over the past 15 months, I lost one of my scocolofi and one yellow lab. Also, one of my red zebra proved to either be a runt or perhaps some sort of hybrid because she isn't even 1/4 the size of my other zebra and they were identicle at purchase.

As Ziggy2 stated lots of hiding places. My yellow lab and socolofi has some baby hybrids not long ago and I'm thankful they all had great hiding spots. I have had some trouble with the Lab male, Socolofi female, and the Zebra male being very aggressive towards one another. I actually had to pull out my Lab, he was nearly killed. They're all back together and so far so good.

Good Luck,
