Fade-Resistant Print – Vibrant artwork that stays bold after every wash.

Mellow Yellow Mbuna — a retro tribute to one of Lake Malawi's most beloved African cichlids, the Yellow Lab (Labidochromis caeruleus). If you keep mbuna, you already know: these are the peaceful ones. The friendly faces of the rift lake aquarium. The cichlid that proves not every Malawi tank has to be a warzone.

Designed for keepers who can spot a yellow lab from across the fish room and know exactly why their black dorsal stripe matters. Groovy 70s typography meets a school of seven cheerful Labidochromis caeruleus, rendered in clean lineart for a vintage poster feel that pairs as well with your aquarium club meetup as it does with a Saturday water change.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size should I order?

This is a Semi-fitted unisex, runs slightly fitted, size up for a relaxed fit cut that runs true to size. Sizes run S to 3XL; size up one for a looser fit.

Is the Yellow Lab cichlid artwork accurate?

Yes. The Yellow Lab cichlid (Labidochromis caeruleus) is drawn to species-accurate proportions and markings, checked before it goes to print.

What are the shirts made of?

Printed DTG on 100% ring-spun cotton (solid colors); cotton-poly blend (heather colors). Built for detail that holds up on species-specific artwork, not a heavyweight streetwear cut.
