LABIDOCHROMIS SP HONGI SUNFLOWER

The Red Sunflower is a German strain of Labidochromis sp. They have been linebred and possible hybridized to produce more intense orange-red coloration in the forehead and dorsal fin, but a bright pink body without the stripes you typically find in the genus. They are herbivorous mbuna that strongly defend rocky territories (unlike Yellow Labs, another Labidochromis species).
