Yellow lab tankmates

[Jrob]

Hey everyone...
150 gallon tank... six footer... 7.6ph.. 80 degrees
1 albino tiger barb
4 clown loaches 5" each
1 fire eel 9"
1Clown pleco 4"
2 guppies
2 giant danios
1 peppered Cory
I know they aren't schools... but here is my question... one of my close friends and hobby partners has six yellow labs... around 2"... he is tearing his tank down and needs a home for them.... so whom would they try to eat or attack... I'm not sure how long they need to stay in the tank but I know it's for a few months....give me the good bad and ugly

My fry lives with guppies they are about 1.5inches . All the other stuff should be fine really. They will eat any and all guppy fry.

If it can fit it in their mouth, then the labs will probably eat it. One way to try and minimize any casualties would be to keep the labs well fed (obviously). As DIDYSIS mentioned they will probably eat any and all guppy fry, but I'm not sure they would go after the adult guppies. Also in a 150g tank, if you provide cover I'm sure some of the guppy fry will survive since they breed like bunnies.

If you (or the GF) are really worried about the guppies, then you could just move them to a 10g while you keep the labs and reintroduce once their gone.
