Yellow Labs

[1234-fishy-freind]

i have liked the striking colours of the yellow lab for some time and i am getting a 25-30 gal tank soon and i was wondering if i would be able to put just them in it... if so, how many and any other info
thanks

'Fraid not. Yellow labs (l.caeruleus) shouldn't be kept in anything smaller than a 4ft tank.

Here's a couple of links of what you can keep in a smaller tank.
