HI Laurel- Your right on the labs, I will find them in time...I have two now, 1 ale 1 female. I have had Acei in the past, and although pretty, I dont want them again. And as to the Saulosi I dont like them at all really...kind of wimpy I think. I prefer fish that are on the more agressive side. I will let you all know if I find nice quality labs....I am really in no rush, am moving the fish from the 90 gal into the 125, so their will be something their.
