Whether a Malawi cichlid can be sexed by appearance depends on its species. In some species, males and females have different coloration. Other times, both genders look identical and you can only sex them by venting them (netting them and looking at their reproductive organs). What kind of cichlids do you have?

Most can be "vented".
I think you can do a keyword search on "sexing" and "venting" that should turn up some good threads.
