Just curious what sex they are. The last one I was told was Kenya but I'm starting to doubt it has line like the first pic once in awhile but it still hasn't colored. So of you can tell me what species the last pic is that would be great. Than you in advance ignore the second one

the 2nd is impossible to see lol, the last is a bit small to sex and i cant see the stripes to tell what it even is.
the first looks like a male kenyi (as long as its more yellow than blue), but the stripes seem a little wierd imo.
the 3rd i think is a female red zebra purely because it appears to be deep orange and rounder, plus the fins are not tall like the males usual fins.
the lab is probably female due to lack of black on bottom fins, but sexing cichlids is very difficult in alot of cases and the photos are too distant to get a good impression.
which one is dominant? do any shimmy when around other fish? what breed is the last fish? xxx

same. if the stripes are 8 in total and quite thin, its a cobalt and quite likely male with that colouring.
the zebra is prob male in that case then.
u sure the 1st is a kenyi?

Female yellow labs can have black coloration on their bottom/pelvic fins.

hence the probably. all the females iv encountered (proven breeders) didnt have black on under fins, maybe a couple had a small stripe. but the males (most) had black. unfortunatley inbreeding from captivity meens this stuff is unreliable, just like egg spots. my red zebra has 6 egg spots and pretty spotted fins, she spat 16 fry!!
