As to not totally derail the other thread I'll start a new about yellow labs. :) One of the most common types of Mbuna found in LFS, unfortunately not all LFS Yellows do them justice.

This is a full sized picture of my current male (from Jason Selong), my buddy Bill Brown aka Manus took this picture for me while he was visiting. I love his camera, he is getting pretty skilled with it.


Here is my "main" female that is around 3 years old or so now, she is still a breeder. Brooding away in the picture too, was pretty typical. While I had my original group going, she would spawn nearly every month! I'm sure this picture has been posted quite a few times on various forums, hey I'm proud of her.



This is my original male, was in my early years of learning to photo edit and chopped off the top on accident. I didn't have photoshop at the time.



Another picture taken by Manus, I was on the left side of the tank. Can you tell? :lol: Its a Yellow lab/Malawi hap setup, love how its turning out so far. I just wish the Lithobates wasn't quite so aggressive with the other haps. I had to move my Azureus. There are also a dozen young adult Petricola in there, I love them spunky little cats too.

Temperament: Moderately aggressive. Will eat anything that will fit in it's mouth. Reported to be more mild mannered than most Mbuna, but individual results may vary!

Diet: Omnivorous/opportunistic feeder. Reported to be insectivores in the wild. Feed a quality cichlid flake/pellet supplemented with spirulina flakes and occasional "meaty" frozen treats. Avoid mammal proteins.

Size: Adults in captivity can attain lengths up to 7 inches.

pH: 7.8-8.4

I got some Yellow Labs today....have wanted some for ever!!!

They are only about 1" each, but very cute! :gay:
