First thing all fish do not act the same. At 1" should should be able too see the difference between a midas and a firemouth.

the OPs pic looks a bit like a jack dempsey

That's kinda what it looked like to me, but with this small screen way to hard to tell.

Smitty, who said they do?
 
If they are jack dempseys, and you are able to upgrade to larger 4' foot tank the convicts and j/d would do well together. But you would need to upgrade in about 3 to 5 months depending on diffrent things, primarily size, but agrresion as well.
 
None of them have the spot I have circled in the picture.

They both have red lining on the dorsal fin. They have a blueish glitter on them. I don't want JD's, would they have red lining on the dorsal fin?

We have a winner

They are Jack dempseys..I got two for 3.00 dollars at least...I also have room in my appartment for my 30 gallon tall tank..I guess the back they go.
 
Sorry to hear it...... try a private pet shop there people are (useually) more knowledgable.
 
I have a red devil he is about 4 1/2" he is so bad i just took him out of the tank, he killed my pacu, tore up my oscar and beat the crap out of my red tail catfish. Time for him to go, anybody wanna trade something? or adopt him? Im in LI New York.
