Electric White Cichlid (Labidochromis caeruleus) - NZ Breed

Electric White Cichlid (Labidochromis caeruleus)

The Electric White Cichlid is one of the most popular African cichlids due to its vibrant yellow coloration and relatively peaceful temperament. Native to Lake Malawi, this species is ideal for both beginners and experienced aquarists looking to add a splash of colour to their aquarium.

At Top Fin Aquatics, we provide healthy, tank-raised Electric White Cichlids that thrive in well-maintained aquariums with stable water conditions. These fish do well in a cichlid community setup and prefer a tank with plenty of rockwork and hiding spaces. They are active, hardy, and can grow up to 10–12 cm in length.

We recommend keeping them in groups to reduce aggression and to replicate their natural social behaviour. A varied diet including high-quality pellets, flakes, and occasional frozen foods will keep them healthy and colourful.
