Regarding interbreeding....
Well I have to say this, its strange to watch my Kiku males, run into a huge group of Chilambo and then shake for the two red Kiku females not giving the chilambo a 1/100th of a second though. I have seen over and over again the alpha Kiku go into the Chilambo group to specifically flush out the lower rank Kiku males and chase them a little, and again give the Chilambo not a split thought of anything. During attempted mating he will allow Chilambo go right over the spawn site, but if a Kiku comes near, the chase is on.
So far the interbreeding is not going to happen, but I am watching them. The only downfall so far is that the Alpha and Beta Kiku males are the only ones who have staked out territory and this might be the biggest problem I am facing right now. The Chilambo are not getting the point where they can stake out territory. The F1 Kiku male is just slightly smaller than my biggest Chilambo, which makes me worried that because the Kiku has the size advantage on the Chilambo, I might not see breeding as much as I want to from the Chilambo.
We will see in the near future as I am trying to bulk up the Chilambo.

I hear ya :) If I ever change my mind about additional tanks (which right now is I dont want any more) I will replace the 58 with the 70 and then install a 5 or 6ft 125/135 where the 70 sits today, but in honesty this is really not what I want to do so I doubt I will go that route.
I need to see the Kiku first trying to court any Chilambo females which has yet to happen. The Kiku are courting the two females over and over again, but they dont seem to even understand there are other trophs in the tank in first place. They simply ignore them left and right.
