Collection point is there location of origin in lake malawi. A single species can occur at several collection points and this causes the difference of appearances. http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/results.php?genus=54 if you look at the top half of this list they are all cyno hara but next to their names they have a (location) These are their collection points. Regarding the supposed females, imo the only way to guess they are female is due to their drab colors. Since the drab colors is a common thing amongst most females without knowing originally what you got you may never know. Earlier it was suggested you should vent to verify the sex. Here's a "how to" video from YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPtENJYXf9k As far as breeding, if there is a shortage of females almost any other mbuna male will try to breed with those females. The resultant fish will be hybrids. Many people keep hybrids which is their prerogative, the only issue that arises is when these individuals try to sell the fry as pure bred fish.
This is the answer i have been waiting for. You will never know what fish you have. Just enjoy the fish and don't worry about breeding them.
If you're are interested in breeding, either a breeding harem (typically expensive) or do what most people with Africans do and buy eight to ten juveniles, raise them up until you can sex them and remove excess males until you are at a ratio of 1m:4-5f. Buying from a reputable dealer who provides collection points is the only way to know what fish you actually have.
im not trying to cross breed or even breed them if i dont kno the correct specie's of the fish...i already have a pair of jag's spawning atm...just trying to identify these fish but seem's like it pretty much impossable..
