[edit] Article name

Moved from "Kenyi Cichlid" to Maylandia lombardoi, although the naming convention for fauna suggests the use of the common name. Kenyi is not universal, its never used in Australia, and as such I think Maylandia lombardoi is a more useful article title. MidgleyDJ 19:00, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

P.S. It was blue when I bought it but when I got home from vaccation it looked like that! :o

No, not to my knowledge. Though males sometimes pretend to be females (and vica versa) MidgleyDJ 23:42, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Really now? Thanks for telling me, its very odd. --Mitternacht90 04:04, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Juvenile males are blue just like the females. Then they turn yellow when mature. I think your fish just changed from juvenile to adult coloration when you were not home :-) --Melanochromis 01:14, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
