A relatively easy fish to keep and is a great addition to a cichlid tank. Whether the cichlid is male or female can't be determined until they are about 5cm. Kennyi cichlids definitely add colour to any tank but make sure you place them in tanks with other cichlids of the same aggressiveness, not weaker fish otherwise the kennyi will attack and bully the weaker fish.
