Hi.

I'm new to Chichlids and i got a pair of Labidochromis caeruleus for free.
Now the female of the pair looks weird.
Here are some Pictures.
The mouth is completely deformed:confused:.

thats normal, you may want to seperate the fry from the mother when there born, because she may eat them.

Congrats on the babies!

You may want to think about getting at least another lab. Mbuna do better with one males and a few females than in pairs. The females can get harassed by the male with multiple females he doesn't pester just one
