Yellow Labs require a hard, alkaline environment that mimics their natural rift lake habitat. Minimum Tank Size: 30 gallons for a single pair, though 40–50 gallons or larger is recommended to comfortably house a small group and minimize territorial aggression
- Water Temperature: 74°F to 82°F (23°C–28°C)
