Are these bred forms or are they found from Tangayika as well? Milan Ullman company sells only bred fishes.

"bred" as in probably hybrids?
or "bred" as in F1's?

Because I noticed that the black triangle in the pectorals is completely absent, and in the dorsal as well.
ALL the baby-multies I've seen have VERY contrasting fins with lots of black, although in some varieties that seems to grow less or almost disappear when maturing.
