Fish ID Please

No problem... I want to get to the bottom of this!

Hehe, sooo I talked to my boyfriend who said that the Labidochromis caeruleus "yellow morph" is the one from lions cove, so basically if it was labelled correctly and called a "white lions cove labidochromis" then that translates to a "white yellow lab" thus it would be a Labidochromis caeruleus: http://www.malawimayhem.com/profile_show.php?id=214.

Ignore the blue sheen in the picture, that is due to the lighting and the fact that it was taken out of the water. I imagine it would look a lot less blue and more 'pearly white' under water:

The black line through the eye is something that a lot of labs have, but not always. My male had it but the females didn't.

I guess thats the best I can do.... in terms of commonality I dont see them around very often. Steve who owns the chisumulae is one of the only guys I personally know around here who has a white Labidochromis.
