Snow White Cichlid

Snow White Cichlid (Labidochromis caeruleus var. “Snow White”)
A stunning albino morph of the popular Mbuna cichlid with pure white coloration and a peaceful temperament

The Snow White Cichlid is a selectively bred variant of the Yellow Lab (Labidochromis caeruleus), featuring a beautiful solid white body with a slight pearlescent sheen. Hardy and less aggressive than many Mbuna species, it’s a popular choice for Lake Malawi setups. This cichlid adds a striking contrast to colorful African cichlid tanks and thrives in rocky environments with plenty of hiding spots.
