houston    Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003  | Mr. Cichlid said it best...Males will become yellow, while the females turn blue. Be very careful though as when most buy Kenyiis they are juveniles and will appear to be female. If you end up with another male you will need to return him or get him his own setup, as Kenyiis are one of the more aggressive of the cichlids, and will kill another male if they are contained in less than 100 gallons, given the time...heidi EDIT:If a moderator sees this, it should be in Malawi Cichlids I think...hml Last edited by heidi at 29-Mar-2005 20:00 "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."
