My female yellow lab had babies a few months ago and at that time I saw that one fish in her mouth was completly hatched, so i figured the rest were ready, and i stripped them, however that was the only fish, the rest were still completly eggs. That first one i took is blue while the rest are yellow. I know there are blue versions of the Labidochromis caeruleus species, but to have only one blue baby out of twelve and from a yellow male and female? That or is it possible the female picked up an egg from another fish and that's why its blue and hatched so early? I included pictures, but also what has me questioning it is that it he sometimes has horizontal lines going through his body, and i was thinking a small Pseudotropheus Socolofi but i may be wrong. Its only about .75 inches long. any ideas

Its possable that she picked up another egg I have a sunbirst peacock that hached some rusty zebras with her eggs on the last bach of fry do u have any fish that look like the blue one iv never seen a blue lab but not saying it cant happen.????

Now its about 2.5" and pretty obvious to tell its a Pseudotropheus socolofi, so i guess she just picked up someone elses egg, i just haven't updated becuase i thought this thread was dead, but thanks anyway.

That cool at least u figured out what it turnd out to be good luck and keep us posted on your tank a lot of smart people up here
