The Yellow Lab Cichlid (Labidochromis caeruleus), also commonly known as the Electric Yellow Cichlid, is a vibrant and popular African cichlid native to the rocky shorelines of Lake Malawi. Renowned for their bright yellow bodies and contrasting black fins, they are considered one of the most peaceful and beginner-friendly mbuna (rock-dwelling) cichlids available.
