Rainbow Shark And Yellow Lab Work?

[phishyphil]

My mother has 3 yellow labs (Labidochromis caeruleus) in her tank (1 Male 2 females), will a rainbow shark work in here or maybe a RTBS?

No: their dietary and water requirements are very different. If you mix the two, one or both will not do as well in the long term. There is also the issue of aggression: even through labs are peaceful, they are still Mbuna and thus more likely to be aggressive than the average aquarium fish.
