Off-topic, but I'll reply anyway:

I've remember reading about "Males losing colour after breeding" some years ago (in Cichlid Forums I think) - did a Google on it at that time but turned up irrelavant stuff only.

Anyway, IME Malawi cichlids are MORE COLOURFUL when they have females around. No females - the male turns a duller colour. I have not encountered males that "lose their colour" due to pairing/breeding. I have noticed that males "turn a duller colour" when the female(s) are removed from the tank.
