A few different ways. All general of course, because of breeding you could run across a hybrid Mbuna that has different species in it. But generally speaking with pure bloodlines...
-A male saulosi will usually have an/some egg spots on its anal fin.
-Also, male saulosi's bars will typically run the height of the body, while a female kenyi's stripes generally fade out about halfway down.
-Kenyi get larger then saulosi.
-saulosi males will have a solid black line on the top of their dorsal fins as well as solid black pectoral fins.
-A female saulosi is going to pretty much be 1 solid color while a male Kenyi can vary with like light colored fins and such. And again, if they show male kenyi's stripes will fade out about halfway down the body.

Well, I guess you'd have to go buy Matt's little descriptions there...but it really shouldn't be difficult to tell them apart at all. Body shape alone is completely different. Sorry, lol, its just hard for me to not see the differences
