I bought this one from a reputable LFS and I was told this is a "Yellow Flash" Lab :confused: I thought there's only one kind of Labidochromis caeruleus aka "Electric Yellow Lab", and they should have the black stripe on the dorsal and anal fins, how come this one doesn't? and it has egg spot!! is this a hybrid or maybe a female soulosi? nevertheless it has very bright yellow color, with no signs of morph and black craps on body or face though.

the face is not shaped like a lab's...too rounded.

Actually, there is a new developed fish that they typically call a double yellow lab or some other silly name like yellow flash.....it is crossed between L. caeruleus "yellow" and M. estherae (Red Zebra)....most likely.

The fish looks similar to a yellow lab but lacks the black in the fins and grows larger with a more rounded snout.
