Default Likelihood of crossbreeding?

The likelyhood is that four can quite easily cross breed.. The Kenyi is in
the same family as the Zebra, the red tops and socolofi... I have had my
Dominant Kenyi male breed with the above.. Also had the Red Top Blues cross
with the Zebra's.. Pretty fish for feeders...

I have a 75 gallon with an assortment of Malawis and have tried to pick
species so as not to get any cross breeding.
A lfs owner said that if you get species that look too much alike you
will get hybrids, so working from that assumption,
I have:

Red zebras 3
Red top cobalts 3
Acei yellow tail 1
socolofi 3
Yellow lab 4
"maingano" johanni 4
kennyi 3

Your advice is appreciated.
