Clown Lab (Labidochromis chisumulae) - 1-2" Unsexed. Remarks: Clown labs ( Labidochromis chisumulae ) are a rare, close relative of the classic yellow lab ( Labidochromis caeruleus ) endemic to the rocky reefs around Chizumulu Island in Lake Malawi. Despite their close relation, they do have a number of differences with the most apparent being their coloration. Juvenile and female clown labs are cream or platinum white while mature males stand out with a brilliant sky-blue hue accented by a jet-black dorsal fin, mask, and vertical stripes. This coloration is very similar to male Labidochromis sp.

'Chisumulae Mbweca.' Basic care for clown labs is. Source: Imperial Tropicals live fish catalogue. Please confirm current availability, size, price, delivery and collection terms with the seller.
