African Cichlids Blue And Yellow
Blue and yellow cichlid.
African cichlids blue and yellow. This is also called the lake tanganyika cichlid. All the mentioned species are semi aggressive apart from demasoni cichlid golden cichlid and kenyi cichlid which are all aggressive. The yellow lab is tough enough to be kept by beginners but all the other species need more experienced aquarists.
Its scientific name is labidochromis caeruleus. I know blue dolphins are haps and labs are mbuna but labs are friendly mbunas. Acei cichlid pseudotropheus acei also known as yellow tail acei is from the northwestern coast of lake malawi from the bandawe point to ngara in zambia africa.
You can keep even 2 individuals of each species in an aquarium. The acei cichlid is from the northwestern coast of lake malawi in zambia africa. These have either yellow and blue stripes along the body or may have blue colorations around the upper part or the head.
The acei cichlid has a long slender blue body with yellow fins which makes it an attractive fish. So my question is what blue. Electric yellow lab and blue dolphin.
The perfect companions may be different mbuna fish and malawi cichlid species equivalent to yellow tail acei cichlid blue dolphin cichlids rusty cichlid perlmutt zebroids and so on. Nonetheless when you hold them with fellow yellow lab cichlids it must be in a ratio of 1 male to at the very least 2 females. Use this as a guide to judge the best tank size for your species remembering that a larger tank is always best and will reduce aggression.
Its different names are due to its variety of color morphs. I am trying to stock a 55 gallon tank with african cichlids. It originates from the rocky coastal of this lake and except for the yellow body it has a yellow band in the middle.
These fish are beautiful to look at with their striking yellowfins and slender blue body. The electric blue cichlid breeding in both the wild and in captivity the males are notably larger and all display the bright blue coloration with hints of reds yellows and oranges on and around the anal fin. Yellow lab cichlid labidochromis caeruleus is also known as electric yellow cichlid lemon drop cichlid yellow labido blue streak hap as well as yellow prince.
The small electric yellow cichlids 3 inches will be happy in a 30 gallon tank whereas the larger blue cichlids 8 inches are better off in a 50 gallon tank.
