Please help identify this cichlid

I was wondering if anyone could please help me identify this cichlid. Sorry the picture may be kind of blurry. Thanks! Nano55

Kenyi (Metriaclima lombardoi)

:iagree:...mostlycichlids beat me to it...I like these ID this fish threads...

Could also possibly be a Petrotilapia sp. "yellow ventral" But unlikely!

looks like Kenyi to me too. They are aggressive, what is in the tank with him?

That's what I thought. Are the males blue or yellow? I am going to guess that the males are blue. The pictured fish is in my son-in-laws tank. There's an auratus and a cocolofi in there. And the rest , I'm not sure . But the kenyi and another fish I'm not sure of are the most aggresive in the tank. He has all africans.

Yellow are male, female blue.

 

[mostlycichlids]

Kenyi males are yellow.

 

[nano55]

Yellow are male, female blue.

Wow, thanks! I didn't know that!

I think they are cool cause they all start out blue then the males change to yellow as they mature!
