Likelihood of crossbreeding?

Thats who my Male Kenyi decided to breed with first... Apparently the powder
blue colouration appeals to the male Kenyi, as opposed to the same colour
with stripes.. Needless to say, now my female Kenyi's are going tan coloured
as a result of a few broods...

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.

Agreed. My male kennyi "prefers" my female socolofi. Pretty fish - at
least
my Compressiceps think so.
