Why This Male Stands Out
This Jumbo Male Yellow Lab boasts striking, saturated yellow coloration that captures light and draws attention in community tanks or dedicated cichlid displays. Males of this species often show more intense hues and robust finnage compared to females, making them a visually captivating and desirable choice for serious aquarists.
Care & Compatibility
Yellow Labs thrive in well-maintained African cichlid aquariums with alkaline water and rocky décor that mimic Lake Malawi’s natural environment. They are generally more peaceful than many mbuna, yet they display typical territorial behaviors among males and during breeding. Provide ample hiding places with rockwork and caves, maintain stable water parameters, and ensure a balanced diet for best coloration and health.
Feeding & Diet
Offer a varied diet of high-quality cichlid pellets and flakes, supplemented with vegetable-rich foods and occasional live or frozen fare. A nutritious feeding regimen enhances both color intensity and overall vitality.
Perfect For:
-
African cichlid community tanks
