Electric Yellow Cichlid or commonly called lemon fish is one of the most popular types of freshwater ornamental fish. This fish has a yellow color with a horizontal black line. Lemon fish is one of the cycloid species originating from the African continent, precisely from Lake Malawi.

This fish by Pierre Brichard was then bred along Lake Tangayika until it reached about 20000 individuals. This fish was then introduced in Burundi by Brichard under the name "Labidochromis Tanganicae" in the early 1980s and exported to various places.

Lemon fish are quite aggressive fish, these fish are very good for placing in an aquarium with a white sand bottom and rocks as a hiding place.

During my experience in raising lemon fish, this fish is classified as a fish that is quite easy to maintain, the food can be pellets, silk worms or daphnia magna.

Don't forget to change 1/3 of the aquarium water once a week.

This fish requires aeration according to the number of fish that are kept.

To breed this fish is a mouth breeder, so the eggs will be stored in the mouth of the male immediately after being fertilized, then after hatching the children of this lemon fish can come out of the mouth of the male.
