I have been raising red zebra's with success for years now, recently
started Yellow Lab 29g tank. I ordered them online so was not able pick
sexes. Ended up with 3 males and 3 females. Very unactive fish. They all
seem to sit in nitches under the rocky boulder-like landscape,
occasionally changing positions. Sometimes just sit next to each other.
No aggression yet, is this normal behavior for Labs? Temp 82, PH 8.2,
Salinity 1.008? I know I have the wrong food, have normal OSI Chichlid
flakes, will be introducing Spirulina Flakes exclusivly this afternoon
for a couple weeks. Fish were added 1 week ago, is this inactivity their
norm, or do I have a setting wrong?


I think their behaviour is not that unusual given their short time in a
change of environment. I would expect to see an increase in activity
level as they acclimate to the water, the tank's surroundings and
movements and shadows outside of the tank. They might always have a
lower activity level than your more gregarious Zebras though. Note that
dietarily, these fish are omnivores, unlike your Zebras.
