Hi All,
I'm looking to get some advice..
My 40 Gal tank is starting to get crowded. All my little fishies are growing up..  :)

So I've been toying with the idea of a Species tank.  I'm looking at keeping only the Yellow Labs and getting rid of evcerything else.

Does anyone see a problem with keeping 8 yellow labs in a tank? And can I add more if they are the only fish in the tank?

Thanks
Dean

What are the tank dimensions?  Probably too many when full grown; but you'll be fine for a while.

It's a 40Gal Tall so it's 36" x 12" x 22" (the 22" is the only unsure measurment it might be 24")
