I have a black convict and a jack dempsey in a 55gal with 3 bala sharks..... when i first got the JD the convict would chase it all around the, the JD wasn't really scared of the convict as it was like they were just playing around....Now the two are inseparable, they parade around the everywhere together....My question is this at all common or can these 2 cichlids mate????

i don't think they can have hybrids, but i'm not the central american expert so idk. . . that is interesting though. are they the same size about? or is the convict much bigger?

they could have fry, but the result wouldn't look as good as either of the parent species. I'd just use the resulting fry as feeders for your larger fish.
