Yellow Lab 3"

Electric Yellows are without a doubt the most popular african cichlid we have here, These fish are very popular among hobby keepers and are always in high demand. Electric yellows are one of the more peaceful African Cichlids and will get along well with most of their tank mates. Both males and females of the electric yellow are deep yellow in colour and develop black anal, pectoral and dorsal fins (more prominent in males as they mature).

They are originally from Lake Malawi in Tanzania, Africa.

The Electric Yellow should be kept in hard alkaline water with a pH between 7.5 and 8.5. They are reasonably tolerant of low water conditions, although this is not recommended. The water temperature should be between 24°c – 26°c, though slightly lower or higher temperatures are tolerated well.

The aquarium should include a fine substrate, hardy plants, caves, and rocks. They should be kept in the largest possible tank, with a recommended size of about 200 litres.
