I'm sure if you took lots of time it could be possible,...
but would it be worth the it?

I agree its 100% possible to do it with just plain cons but it would probably take longer then your lifetime.

I agree, evolution of characteristics and attributes don't happen nearly as time friendly as many of us here would desire them to. Disappointing, I know.. but the idea brought up about Convict x Barred Midas over dozens of generations sounds a bit more plausible. However, in that case you wouldn't have the 7"-8" Convict you initially desired but rather a 7"-8" poser.
 
Convict x Texas is a really chunky fish very grey and boring to look at gets 8inch plus

My female con mated with a male fennestratus. I got really exited about the possiblites but 50% eggs fungused and i had like 10 wriggling fry which died before the free swimming stage. so i guess its a non viable genetics..

i wonder whether you could cross breed a con and a trimac could be a great looking fish.
