Hello fellow fans of cichlids :D
I have been doing freshwater for about 15 years and have been into salt water for about 1 year but I am fairly new to the world of cichlids.
I have a pair of electric yellows and I am not even sure were to post regarding them. I also have on the tank on that was sold to me as a bumblebee cichlid and I am not sure what speices that is either.
I could use a little direction. Thanks.

30 gallon tank with live plants, emperor 280, 150 gph powerhead.

Electric yellows = Labidochromis caeruleus. Bumblebees = Maylandia crabro. Both are mbuna from Lake Malawi. 30g will get too small for the bumblebee, they're pretty large and aggro when mature. The electric yellows might be alright, they tend to be more mellow compared to other mbuna although I personally haven't tried mature EY in a tank that size. Do a "google" search of either species, there's tons of info out there on both of these fish.

Thank you! I did a search and you are right there tons of info out there. I just needed a place to start. I will direct all other questions related to these guys on the Lake Malawi section of the forum.
