Now, before I post this, I understand some of you will disagree with my over stocking. It is completely understandable. I do once weekly, sometimes twice weekly water changes( 25 percent), and I have a Bio-Wheel Power filter. I am also looking into getting another Filter. Be it Bio-wheel or some kind of internal filter.

I had a 30g tank with 4 Yellow Labs in it. It turned out 2 were male, and 2 were female. I also had a 20g Flat Hexagon tank with 4 labs in it( about an inch smaller). After venting them, I believed that I had 3 males, and 1 female. So, I went to a friend of mine's house( also leader of the fish club, and a Lab breeder). He exchanged my 5 males for 5 females. He also gave me ALOT of rocks for my tank so they have more places to hide( I used to have slate, but it doesnt work very well, being flat. He gave me all kinds of river rocks). So, I did a 50 percent water change in my 30g tank, did some re-scaping with all the new rocks, and introduced the 5 female in with the other 2 females and 1 male. I have been feeding them Sprinula Pellet's, and Earth Worm Flake. I am hoping that they will breed in the future. I do have the 20g right now avalible for fry( I have a breeding pair of Brisltenoses in it), and a 30g avalible for fry aswell( I have roughly 30 or more Bristlenose fry in there). I am very excited!!!!!!!! No agression. At first, the male was checking out all the females, but since then, they have all been getting along just fine!

If you would like some picture's, I would be more than glad to take them.
 
I took some pic's( only 2), since I had the camera laying out!

Sorry about the quality, the tank has poor lighting.
 
i have one of these in 28 gallon tank, with only a cat fish for company which he is terrorising. (i should really take it out.) ive been deciding wether to get more or start over with some community fish. i posted a pic of him a while back, he's in great shape and about 3.5 inches long. Would I be able to put in another 3 without him bullying them. my local fish shop only has small yellow labs.
