We've checked a couple of cichlid compatability charts, but there's nothing like first-hand experience. Can anyone here tell me if this is a good combination? Or, would be fatal to one or more fish?
I wouldn't. Mixing different rift lake fish is always an adventure, and Yellow labs can be pretty pugnacious. With 4 of them, they're likely to breed and then the scales would really fly. My preference would be to have a tanganyika-only tank (with your Neolamps) and a big malawi tank (with yellow labidos et al). 4 yellow labidos is pretty crowded for a 29 unless you fill it with rocks and provide tons of hiding places.
