i have two blue kenyi's
when i first bought them about 6 months ago they were both a really bright blue..now one has changed to a drab looking rust color..does this mean one is female and one is male? or do kenyi have a tendacy to wash out the bright blue color?

any input is appreciated

It is normal esp. with Kenyi. I have a subdominant male who is yellow. It is almost full grown about 1 1/2 years old and just yesterday it turned back to blue. I now know it is a female dressed in male colors and for a long time.
