It's possible they're still young and the black stripe hasn't developed yet. Can you post a pic of yours for comparison?

I have the pictures on my computer, but I'm not sure how to get them on here. Is there a way I can upload them from my PC, or do I need to put them somewhere else first?

You can get yellow labs that don't have the black bars, it's not a necessity for them. I think the vertical striping on yours could be due to stress or weak breeding, maybe even cross breeding, it's possible.

If you want to share pictures, you can use this site: http://tinypic.com/, it's pretty easy to use.

If they are yellow labs, I'm still wondering what other fish I can put with them. I'd love to have a variety of different colors in my tank.

I'm still trying to figure out how to upload pics. I found this link that says you can use tinypic, but I'm not sure if that's the only way. I also found this other link on this site that talks about uploading images and videos, but I haven't had a chance to read through it all yet.
