right then... i've just rang my lfs...she confirmed the name of the blue ones.... pseudotropheus socolofi.... i've done a quick seach but any info would be great!!

also i've measured the tank .... 31.5 x 16x 11.5 (inches)....

so...are the electric labs out then whether they are with the julidachromis or not

plus... great info about the julidachromis... didnt realise i could keep them by themselves!!

I personally wouldn't keep labs in a 25 gallon since they get to be 4-5 in and are pretty active. 11" tall or wide? pseudotropheus socolofi are mbuna and you wouldn't want to keep them in a 25 gallon tank. I also believe that they get to be about 4-5 in too.

Which type of julidochromis do you have? Just go on the left side of this webpage and look for julidochromis and pull up each species. Or you might just know.

pretty sure they are Julidochromis ornatus...only confusing bit is that i was told that the female should be the larger.... the guy picked me the biggest and the smallest to try and make sure it was a pair... guess it must be the other way round

So what are your plans or thoughts about what you're going to stock the tank with?
