Title: yellow lab or kenyi?
Post by: jwalser18 on June 09, 2013, 12:14:58 PM
Okay, so went to MV.. got my cichlids! will upload pics/vids soon! question on hand is this however..

All of my yellow labs are about 1".. all of which have black on there dorsal.. with great colorings, however.. when I got home, I noticed one didn't.. It also is alot lighter of a color than the rest. Stress? Kenyi? what's goin on?! lol

body structure is almost ident, The lighter one is just a much brighter/faint yellow with no signs of black dorsal.. Hard to keep track all the mbuna get lost in my rockwork ;) i have SOOOOO many caves!

Female yellow labs usually have far less even none what so ever black on the dorsal fins also kenyi are stripped.  Also body shape is different post a picture. and while no for sure.

They both look like hybrids and/or poor quality yellow labs to me.
