I was talking about the Jewel, not the zebra!
sorry about that

No prob

I've had them in there for a few days now, and everyone seems to be
getting along just fine.

My only problem is that one of the labs is just about missing their
entire tail fin except for a little part. It seems the other yellow
lab keeps chasing this one, and will stop only when the jewel steps in
to break up the fight. I'm wondering if I might have a male and a
female, and she's just not ready to get down and dirty. It's hard to
sex these fish! Anyway, I added some more AquaClear (stress coat), a
few tbsp of salt and some melafix. Hopefully the lab can hide out in a
cave for a while and grow back that tail fin.

I also think I need to get more fish in the tank. With only 6 fish
(two yellow labs, two red zebras and two jewels), they are getting
very comfortable with the huge territory they can claim in this 80gal
tank. I'm thinking of picking up a few more lab and MAYBE a kenyi. I'm
still doing some research on them, and it seems they can be even more
agressive than the jewels at times, so I'm not sure.
