I need helping in identifying male from female.....(m)

[daddylovesfish]

I am crazy about the cichlid called kennyi. I found a place that sells them...and they are juveniles. When juvenile they are both blue. The male turns yellow at maturity. So how can I tell the difference? They all the look the same...fins and everything. I want two females and one male. Should I just take my chances?

Thanks,
Curtis

woudlnt recommend Pseudotropheus Lombardoi (kenyis) they are highly agressive even for an mbuna, id go with something like saulosi which are beautiful and much less agressive

I have 3 Kenyis. 2 females and 1 male. You can sorta tell when there younger because my male was a little bit larger than the other two. Hes now turning his bright yellow color while the other two are staying their blue color. But they are very aggressive. I was planing on selling them back to start a community tank because I dont think they will let any other fish in the tank with them. They have grown quite a bit in the 2 months as well.
