It is a Kenyi. It's still too little to tell, but if it is a male it will turn bright yellow. I hope you have a big tank and it's tank mates can handle living with him

+1 you'll know sex when they sexually mature but they are highly aggressive so stock accordingly

I have a pair of kenyi. They used to live in my 75 gallon, and he was always starting promblems. I moved him over to my 150 and he settled down. So having a bigger tank helps with their attitude.

Thanks a bunch I'm trying to do an mall male take to cut down on aggression. So I think I will take this one back.
