Male aggression in mbuna

[Plecos4596]

It seems like from what people say that males in the mbuna family are more aggressive than females is this true? Are males more territory oriented than females which causes them to dig more? Say I got a female and put her in a tank with other species of female mbuna would they dig and make their own territories or just chase each other every now and then because it sounds like to me the males are the ones who worry about territory and food etc.

Dominate females will do the same as males and will even change their colors to almost look like a male
