I would suggest a young group of sci. fryeri(african hap) they will grow into a nice deep blue color through the whole body and then a nice white blaze mohawk.
For red, i would suggest aulo. rubscens or aulo. Eureka's.
Those would make beautiful contrast in the tank.

any African Cichlid will go fine with those yellow labs. Labs are a peaceful fish. You can put either Mbuna or Haps and Peackocks, you could even go with some Tang. fish.

Pseudotropheus saulosi! That way you get blue/black fish and orange-yellow fish. They also don't get too big. A species of Aulonocara would be nice too.

I have a trio of yellow labs in my tank rite now i have 3 red zebras in there with them (2 female (orange) 1 male(purple)) I also have a clown pleco in with them to. No problems, although i have a decent set up with lots of hiding places (all rock caves) and they are JUST maturing now i think...

More yellow labs, a group of 8-12 is pretty active. Also a pleco. I have "yellow Jakes" in with my yellow Labs, but I'm going to move them because they're not breeding. I think the Labs may be a bit active for them. I have some Blue A. Stuartgranti that beat up on "Kenyii" so there probably is some Pea**** that would make good tank mates for them. I wouldn't put Salousi in with them, if they release fry in the big tank, you would have to sort yellow babies.
