i saw one the other day at one of my local LFS' (mever knew they really exhisted) but it was gone the next day when i went in there after they jsut got a shipment. the price was i think $49.99 tho and about 2.5". but they have no more sorry and they said they got it by accident but someone there knew how to id it since they had 1 at home.

I picked some up fairly cheaply from a place on Elm Lane in Sheffield, if that's any help. Can't remember the name of the place; it's a bit dingy but the fish seem in good health.

Incidently, the blue form is the norm in the wild - that's what the caeruleus bit means - 'blue'. No-one's entirely sure where the yellow morph came from.

Sorry the site's in French, but the pictures are there.

No, you don't get green. I wonder what you do get? Probably a mixture; it depends how simple or complex the genetics are.

Labidochromis chisumulae is this a completely different species from the yellow lab and can they be kept together without them inter breeding and does anyone know where i can get some from.
