Fish Crazy
right now im keeping yellow labs with my peacocks with zero problems, are there any of species that have the same temperament of labs?

Iodotropheus Sprengerae and Pseudotropheus Acei are two good examples - both species generally work well with labs and Aulonocara.![]()
Also known as "Rusty" cichlid.![]()
I have found the albino Socolofi to be slightly more agressive than the normal blue variant but still nothing to worry about - it's probably more a case of individual agressiveness in the fish i've kept rather than a general species trait.
The albino's would definitely look good with your current stock.![]()
Should be fine either way. If you get a single fish, might be better to go for a male - you should see more character then.
A lot depends on their age/size.
Egg spots are the easiest way to sex Mbuna although not 100% reliable. Egg spots tend to be found on males although females can also have them. Many egg spots almost certainly indicates a male whereas 1 or 2 could be either and no egg spots almost certainly indicates a female.
Unfortunately very small juveniles will not display egg spots - they do not appear until they are young fish/subadults. I have followed this technique for years and it has hardly ever mislead me - simple but effective![]()
