mmm I am down in aussie land so jeff rapps is not around here lol. id happily breed trimacs have lots of 100G + tanks for breeding sa/ca cichlids but we dont have any here that I know of!
mmm I love the yellow lab idea just worried about the roseline/torpedo barbs even the clown loaches seem to pick on them lol!
I defs want balas now too and will move them over too another tank once larger and just keep growing them up.
I also saw a pen looking fish with yellow and black lines the lfs owner could not give me its name he called them pencil fish but they are another one that grows to 1 foot or so thinking they would be good if low on aggression and some tiger barbs and rainbows, defs some yellows if it will work!
