Kenyi Male and Femal

[crazy_cat]

I bought three Kenyi a week ago and I am wondering when do the males turn yellow? Two of the fish are the violet blue and one has a very defined yellow color on the fins and face and is a very, very light blue/yellow color on the body. One of the violet blue fish is a vibrant blue and the other is a shade or two lighter but that one seems to freak out over everything so I am assuming that is playing into the color change.

The two blue fish are about 2 inches long and the yellow colored fish is about 1 1 /2 inches long.

Any help is appreciated!

I would think that around 2" you will start seeing a good color change in the male. 2" is usually a general size for cichlids for selling them to a LFS and to sex them. So my guess would be around 2" maybe 2.5".

Yeah the one that has some yellow the fins and face is around 2 inches. The other two are a tad over 2 inches so they run him around a bit when he gets near their caves. I am just hoping they learn to like each other soon. They were the same way at the LFS so I am not too worried right now.
