i have looked a several sites and visited many LFS and at every fish store i get a different answer on how hard/easy it is to care for them

my boss had a kenyi tank for five years and said he never had a problem and that they were easy to take care of is this like a once in a life time thing

Kenyi are very easy to take care of, they are primariy veggie eaters so keeping their diet proper is very important. I put in a veggie clip: zuchini, romaine lettuce and feed them peas w/ the hull taken off.
Also I feed them spirula flakes. Then I use an OSI cichlid flake.

The 20 percent waterchanges twice a week will keep the nitrates down,and the water good and clean, the fish love that!

I knock on wood have had great luck with my kenyi, and kenyi fry.

do i really have to use a veggie clip or could i put it in the water

if you blanch them (put them in boiling water for 20 seconds, then in an ice/cold water bath) they should sink without the clip

Use a veggie clip so that what they don't eat you can get to before it rots in the tank. The veggie clips cost about 2 dollars.

could i use a hair clip that has not been used cuz i would have to drive like 45 mins to get one

never mind that last one my male kenyi is turning yellow but slowely how long does it take and is it normal for his stripes to come in and out of focus and fade
