i wanna ask if kenyi's and ice blue(Metriaclima greshakei) can live together and breed or is the kenyi too aggresive?
and as for the kenyi when they grow the male turns yellow and female stays the same?
what about the ice blue any juvi pics and transforming pics?
 
Yes kenyi's are very aggressive, but aslong as your tank is big enough, i dont see any any problems. And yea, males turn yellow and females stay blue. :good:
 
I used to have b oth of those fish in my tank I took back the kenyis because they were too aggressive, but the greshaki can look after itself, and alot of the time would beat up the kenyi.

I wouldn't put them in anything smaller than 75gal, and you definately don't want more than one male of each species. Kenyi, (metriaclima lombardoi), juveniles and females are blue while males turn yellow. Ice blue (metriaclima greshakei) juveniles and females are a light brown, sexually mature males have light blue bodies with bright orange dorsal fin and tail.
