Male or female cichlids

[pinkkiwi1230]

I have bought a few cichlids for my 38 gallon tank. I been trying to figure out the sex of these things. I'm gone online and researched details so I figured maybe I can get some expert eyes on it. Some pictures might be of the same fish but it's really hard to get a clear picture cause they move so much.

The blue striped one looks like a female kenyi and the yellow striped one looks like a male kenyi. (I think I spelled it right)

The kenyis? How big are they until they breed? I still need to buy a male.

The only pet store we have is petco, and walmart.... I wanna go to the coast one weekend and hit up one of the large pet stores just to see more freshwater fish. I feel so limited and I know there are so many more out there... our house is going to be full of fish lol. We already have 3 tanks

We don't have a petco and our walmart doesn't have fish because they weren't well taken care of but we have a pet value, northern exotics, pet depot, peters reef, and pet smart. Lol same I have 4 tanks right now but one is just my breeding tank. I absolutely LOVE fish (and snakes)
