is that for just the yellow labs?

Labidochromis grow slow. It has taken about 2 years for my Lab to reach 5". Most Mbunas grow much faster than Labs. Frequent water changes really help speed up growth.

i was wondering if i can keep a marbled birchir with my africans because the birchir will only grow a max of 12in

I don't see how you can cator to the needs of Rift lake cichlids and the Bichir at the same time. It will also eat anything that it can, and an adult can eat an mbuna.
