Its vibrant golden phase is the most commonly seen and has led to various common names such as Yellow Lab Cichlid, Electric Yellow Lab, Yellow Labido, Lemon Yellow Lab, and Lemon Drop Cichlid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the striking yellow morph is the most popular variety, it's important to note that there are actually several naturally occurring color morphs within this species. The collective group of these cichlids is referred to as the Blue Streak Hap, which includes variations such as Labidochromis Yellow, Labidochromis White, Pearl Labidochromis, and Blue-White Labido. Although less common, blue and white morphs are occasionally available to hobbyists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Streak Haps, including the Electric Yellow Cichlid, can be found throughout Lake Malawi. However, the yellow variety is specifically endemic to the Nkhata Bay region, located between the Islands of Charo and Mbowe. The discovery and introduction of this color morph to the aquarium hobby is described in an article by author Marc Elieson titled \"Labidochromis caeruleus,\" which details how the morph was first found and collected by Stuart Grant and his team in the early 1980s. Subsequently, Pierre Brichard bred them extensively in his fish facility in Burundi, Africa, situated on Lake Tanganyika. Initially, they were mistakenly labeled as \"Labidochromis tanganicae,\" but it has since been clarified that they are not Tanganyikan cichlids but rather a xanthic variation of L. caeruleus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelonging to the Mbuna group, these cichlids are rock-dwelling species native to Lake Malawi in Africa. Mbunas are known for their small size, dynamic behavior, and aggressive personalities. The term \"mbuna\" originates from the Tonga people of Malawi and translates to \"rockfish\" or \"rock-dwelling,\" accurately reflecting their natural habitat in contrast to open water swimmers like the Utaka cichlids and other \"haps.\" Another well-known Mbuna from Lake Malawi is the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/monsteraquariumon9.com\/products\/auratus-cichlid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eauratus cichlid\u003c\/a\u003e, recognized for its aggressive temperament in rocky setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex justify-between lg:block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center mt-2 gap-2 md:gap-3 lg:gap-1 lg:absolute lg:top-0 lg:translate-x-full lg:right-0 lg:mt-0 lg:pl-2 visible\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"flex ml-auto gap-2 rounded-md p-1 hover:bg-gray-100 hover:text-gray-700 dark:text-gray-400 dark:hover:bg-gray-700 dark:hover:text-gray-200 disabled:dark:hover:text-gray-400\"\u003e\u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" class=\"h-4 w-4\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"2\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M16 4h2a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v14a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H6a2 2 0 0 1-2-2V6a2 2 0 0 1 2-2h2\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003crect ry=\"1\" rx=\"1\" height=\"4\" width=\"8\" y=\"2\" x=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/rect\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex gap-1\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"p-1 rounded-md hover:bg-gray-100 hover:text-gray-700 dark:text-gray-400 dark:hover:bg-gray-700 dark:hover:text-gray-200 disabled:dark:hover:text-gray-400\"\u003e\u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" class=\"h-4 w-4\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"2\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M14 9V5a3 3 0 0 0-3-3l-4 9v11h11.28a2 2 0 0 0 2-1.7l1.38-9a2 2 0 0 0-2-2.3zM7 22H4a2 2 0 0 1-2-2v-7a2 2 0 0 1 2-2h3\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"p-1 rounded-md hover:bg-gray-100 hover:text-gray-700 dark:text-gray-400 dark:hover:bg-gray-700 dark:hover:text-gray-200 disabled:dark:hover:text-gray-400\"\u003e\u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" class=\"h-4 w-4\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"2\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M10 15v4a3 3 0 0 0 3 3l4-9V2H5.72a2 2 0 0 0-2 1.7l-1.38 9a2 2 0 0 0 2 2.3zm7-13h2.67A2.31 2.31 0 0 1 22 4v7a2.31 2.31 0 0 1-2.33 2H17\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h-32 md:h-48 flex-shrink-0\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"absolute bottom-0 left-0 w-full border-t md:border-t-0 dark:border-white\/20 md:border-transparent md:dark:border-transparent md:bg-vert-light-gradient bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 md:!bg-transparent dark:md:bg-vert-dark-gradient pt-2\"\u003e\u003cform class=\"stretch mx-2 flex flex-row gap-3 last:mb-2 md:mx-4 md:last:mb-6 lg:mx-auto lg:max-w-2xl xl:max-w-3xl\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"presentation\" class=\"relative flex h-full flex-1 items-stretch md:flex-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h-full flex ml-1 md:w-full md:m-auto md:mb-2 gap-0 md:gap-2 justify-center\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/form\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"monsteraquariumonline","offers":[{"title":"2-2.25”","offer_id":40858942243025,"sku":null,"price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3\"-3.5\"","offer_id":41518521090257,"sku":"","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4-4.5\"","offer_id":42230136799441,"sku":"","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/9135\/5601\/products\/image_340493ce-f222-4b0a-b970-e5dbd28583f9.heic?v=1649292376","url":"https:\/\/www.monsteraquariumonline.com\/zh\/products\/yellow-lab-cichlid","provider":"monsteraquariumonline","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
