Electric Yellow Cichlid

Facts and Information

yellow lab cichlid

Found in Lake Malawi, along the northwest shores. It is also called Blue Streak Lab (a nick-name for Labidochromis). The body is a solid bright yellow with black margins on the fins. There is a lighter color variety seen occasionally that is called a White Lab that is more of a pastel yellow color versus the brilliant yellow of the original form. The genus name "Labidochromis" comes from the Greek words "labidos" (a pair of forceps), and "chromis" (a perch-like marine fish).
