I'm hoping this new addition is a male metriaclima estherae, but I'll let you'll decide.

No, i have 3 yellow labs.. and this ones face is built differently. Bigger eyes and overall structure. Hes more a orange-yellow cross in person. A lot darker then my labs.

Metriaclima Estherae
yep just looked at pinned thread and found this...same as what you think

it could be an albino labidochromis caeruleus without the red eyes looks similar to the one that my friend has, it could also be a labidochromis caeruleus hybrid

Where did you buy it at? Around here m.estherae x l.caeruleus hybrids have become popular and are being sold as lemon yellow zebras.

Yours looks quite a bit like the hybrids I've seen around here, I've never seen a pure m.estherae that yellow, even the males still have an orange tint, though I suppose it could just be the lighting.

The fish in question definitely has a noticeable orange tint. The pictures don't show it at all.... ill post more pics with better angles.
