{"product_id":"electric-yellow-malawi-cichlid","title":"Electric Yellow Malawi Cichlid","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe electric yellow cichlid (\u003cem\u003eLabidochromis caeruleus\u003c\/em\u003e) is the yellow morph from Lion's Cove in Lake Malawi, and the fish that persuades most people to try mbuna. The body is an even, solid buttercup yellow, finished with a jet black leading edge on the dorsal fin and black tips to the pelvic and anal fins. That black-on-yellow contrast is what makes it read so cleanly against dark rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAquarium care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReaches around 10 cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe mildest of the commonly kept mbuna, though still a cichlid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep one male with several females; a group settles better than a pair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeeds hard, alkaline water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWants rockwork with caves over sand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOmnivorous but leans vegetarian.
