    Don't know. I think that it looks like a female of a Haplochromis species.

    Are you sure that they are malawi or could they be a Victoria cichlid?

    yea you may be right about it being a hap. I looked at some pictures and the dorsal fins are much more characteristic of a hap. I am going to look aroung some more.
