what's the name of it?

can't be sure by 'yellow malawi cichlid'?

malawi as in malawi mbuna or as in tanganika/victoria?

my best guess from the info given would be around 3 weeks.

might get it more accurate with better details.

Hope this helps.

Harry

EDIT: Sorry, 3 weeks till fry being released.

id assume Labidochromis Caeruleus, the eggs are only eggs for about 4 or 5 days, but she can hold onto the babies for weeks after that, only letting them go when she finds somewhere suitable and feels they are big enough to go there....
