I say for the Electric Blue Acura - have the water temperature between 28.5 C (83.3 F) and 29.2 C (84.56 F). When I had them I had a success at 29.0 F (84.2 F)..
Have a big enough cave for both pair or a flat surface that is out the way from other fish so the eggs can be protected better.
once they start to spawn it will happen just about monthly after the fry can survive on their own.

Convicts are great parents, and breed quite readily as long as there is a male, female, and water.
All these are pretty simple to spawn.
Basically all you need is a pair and clean water, quality food and a spawning site, typically a smooth rock or clay pot will do the trick.
I wouldn’t worry about trying to recreate any perfect parameters with these species if you stay within a basic range of moderate Ph ,temperatures and hardness you shouldn’t have any problems.
I’ve found that if the basic care is met feeding some meaty type foods chopped shrimp, blood worms , earth worms is all it takes to get the fish into breeding mode
What’s funny is I’m sure someone has done that.
