chiclids

i kno my 1 yellow chiclid is this species
http://www.malawimayhem.com/profile_show.php?id=278
and he is a male as i seen from the picture
however i thought my white 1 was a snow white but i seen now that there is 1 that has stripes like mine kinda orange suttle stripes like here
http://www.malawimayhem.com/profile_show.php?id=557
and she is a female

is it normal for the female to be dominant inside the tank vs the male? and also will they breed at all or no bc they are different species?

No it isn't common for the female to be the dominant one in the tank. And you don't want two different species to breed, that is how many hybrid lines get started. Although it is unlikely they would breed anyway.

Does your female have red eyes? The albinos do. If she doesn't then she isn't an albino. If she is indeed an albino rubescens, then she is a peacock and your make is a mbuna. Very unlikely they will breed. Over time they may or may not continue to get along.
I know you had pics posted before of your fish, but do you have any more? The first ones were kinda hard to distinquish.

How unusual that your female is dominant. [acronym:c8867eba5c="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:c8867eba5c] sounds like my house sometimes. I look forward to seeing pics soon.
