how big are they? I had three and each turned into males (yellow) at a different time, so give it a little while longer to make sure you have a male AND female. my dominant male bred with a red zebra female because i didn't have and female kenyi!!!

usually they do it themselves if they are old enough. my male kenyi didn't start showing interest until he was about 5 inches long..... try replicating the lake they came from; lake malawi - ph 8.0 with seachem lake cichlid buffer and salt (both available at Big Al's if your in florida)
