Got a question, not sure what to put for a topic

Now I've seen some sites say the Electric Yellow Cichlid also comes in a white form and a blue form, now does that mean the have the same personality and stuff like the electric yellow cichlid? Are they just like the platy in the way they are the basic same species just different colors? And if so could the breed with eachother?

Yes to all your questions. The yellow varient of Labidochromis caeruleus is actually very rare in the lake. There are over 12 different morphs of this fish. This color varient or morph was only discovered about 15 or 20 years ago. The species name caeruleus means blue in latin for the blue coloration the males of the white varient take on while in breeding dress.

True, but the caerlulas colour morphs come from different locations and have entirely separated populations. Personality apparently does differ.
Nor do people cross yellows with the much less sellable blue or white flavours.
