I'm pretty sure that's not a lab, it's got to be a peacock of sorts
 
Could be a pseudotropheus saulosi, they change from yellow to blue as they mature. (I believe it's yellow to blue)
 
Here's examples of my saulosi. Yellow is female an blue black is male that's almost changed over

If its a saulosi he will stay blue and black. If he becomes sub dominant he could show yellow hints sometimes mixed in
