Depends on who is bigger and more aggressive.
Nicaraguense cichlids naturally occur near dovii mating pairs. They have a symbiotic relationship in the wild (not sure if anyone has been successful in the aquarium). Nicaraguense guards dovii fry while the dovii protect the Nicaraguense from their hated competition Neetroplus nematopus.
