• Size: Can grow up to 4-5 inches in length.
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can exhibit mild territorial behavior, especially during breeding.
• Lifespan: With proper care, they can live up to 8-10 years.
• Diet: Omnivorous – thrives on a varied diet including high-quality flake food, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods like brine shrimp and bloodworms.
• Water Conditions: Prefers water temperatures between 72-82°F, pH levels of 7.8-8.6, and hardness of 10-20 dGH.
• Habitat: Enjoys a well-decorated aquarium with plenty of hiding spots made from rocks and caves. A sandy substrate is preferred to mimic their natural environment.

Care Instructions

• Tank Size: A minimum of 30 gallons is recommended for a small group to allow adequate swimming space and to minimize territorial disputes.
• Water Quality: Maintain high water quality with regular water changes (20-30% weekly). Use a good quality filter to keep the water clean and oxygenated.
• Feeding: Feed 2-3 times a day with a balanced diet. Avoid overfeeding to prevent water pollution.
• Tank Mates: Best kept with other peaceful to mildly aggressive African cichlids. Avoid keeping with small, delicate species that could be intimidated or outcompeted for food.
• Breeding: Provide flat rocks and caves for breeding. They are mouthbrooders, meaning the female will carry eggs and fry in her mouth for protection until they are ready to be released.
• Health Monitoring: Regularly observe for signs of illness such as changes in behavior, appetite, or appearance. Common issues include Ich and bacterial infections, which should be treated promptly.

By following these care instructions and providing a suitable environment, your Golden Yellow Lab Cichlid Fish will thrive and bring vibrant color and lively activity to your aquarium.
