[Redrider]

I bought this fish at the LFS and was told it is a male Kenyi, I have a male and female Kenyi, Yellow & Blue, I have never seen a white except an albino with red eyes, could someone please let me know if this is Kenyi, it has the bars and does have a tint of yellow, thanks.

Looks like a Kenyi/dolphin or Kenyi/frontosa it's got big lips an a enlarged forehead

They yellow one is a male Kenyi

Females and males are the same yellow color until they are about 2 inches then the male brightens up and the female goes blue

I know, I have both male and female, that's why I dont think this white one is Kenyi, and this white one is not aggressive like my male Kenyi, very timid..

Great color on her. Normally they are really pale


But yea that white one is some kind of mix of something

It could just be a moorii those are just very prominent stripes for it to e only that

That's what I was thinking, my male kenyi was hyper dominate and beat this one up pretty good, my male kenyi was fighting last night with another fish when I went to bed, and I found him dead this morning, now this white thing and my female are playing around ...

Yea Kenyi are very aggressive cichlids extremely territorial

Ya my male would pick on every new fish the longest, even more than the king, he picked the wrong fight last night, kinda sucks, I really like that fish, had him since it was about an inch, he died at about 5 inch, and had 3 kills under his belt..
