You just see these occasionally as you do barred fish. The so called "Solid Electric Yellow Morph" does not come from crossbreeding IMO. One male shows barring the dominent male is perfect with no barring and dark fins, one female shows no black at all, and the rest are somewhere in the middle. I have 9 adult yellow labs which I have obtained from 3 different LFS. I know exactly where you read that statement about crossbreeding. If I keep the more desirable fry and get rid of the adults that are solid yellow or barred, will inbreeding lead to undesirable traits? I will probably sell some of the labs with less desirable qualities as I plan to keep breeding, as everyone is looking for the distinct black dorsal and pelvic fins. I don't mind having some variety in my community, but it's funny that only my dominant male and best looking female have spawned so far. I do agree that you can obtain a solid yellow lab/zebra hybrid, but they have a distinctly different body shape than a pure bred lab and is easy to spot in most cases. Just thought I'd share this.and ask if this is accurate information? Sooooo, if "most" people think young yellow labs are not supposed to have bars (or that barring means bad quality), then I will never get my Lions Cove yellow labs sold! However our males turn out beautiful and as the females age their bars will disappear completely as well. Our juveniles have barring and females might have a little as well. Please do not confuse this with our "Lions Cove" variety. Some people sell "Solid Electric Yellow" in which the females and the juveniles do not have barring but in order for this to be, the fish was actually cross bred with Red Zebras. Electric Yellow vary drastically in quality and have been ruined by large chain stores, however we take pride in our strain and know you will be pleased. Outstanding and unique in color these Electric Yellows should be in every cichlid tank no matter what. I ordered my fish online from a place with a great reputation this is what they say about their yellow labs. From what I read I found out that barring is NORMAL and NATURAL on the Lion Cove's variety.Can someone confirm this for me? Well, this made me start researching the quality of my labs b/c some of my smaller ones have barring.

They told me they would buy some from me as long as "they had no barring".

If spawning is desired, tankmates of other species should be kept to a minimum or avoided altogether. Dwarf shrimp and other small, delicate invertebrates should not be kept with the Double Red Agassizi’s Dwarf Cichlid, but more durable, larger shrimp and snails could possibly make good tankmates in a large enough aquarium. Territoriality is typically at its peak during spawning. This cichlid is generally compatible with other peaceful fish as long as it has plenty of room. It is an excellent candidate for the planted aquarium, but it also needs a fair amount of open space. The Agassizi’s Dwarf Cichlid will thrive in an aquarium with a sandy substrate and plenty of refuge such as clay pots, driftwood, and rock formations. Adult males have a great deal of red finnage as well as blue, violet, and yellow coloration along the body! As with most dwarf cichlids, adult females are less colorful by comparison, but still have a good amount of coloration (particularly yellow and black with some red/orange highlights) and have an attractive appearance with plenty of personality. agassizii ) is an extremely colorful variant of this superspecies.
