Jack dempsey-7"
Flowerhorn-6"
Texas-6"
Red Devil-1.5"
Green Terror- 2"
Dovii- 2"
Firemouth- 3.5"
Convict- 2.5"
Oscar- 3".
 
Typical breeding sizes if paired young are Jd-3"
Texas 3"
Green terrors 4"
Convicts 1"
Oscars -8"
Fire mouth - 3"

The others I left out I'm not sure of.
Jd x con , con x fm , Texas x con , fm x Texas , Texas x jd, are all possible hybrids.

It's possible but if they haven't tried pairing already they are likely the same sex. I forgot to mention the red devil and fh can hybrid with these too.

The best way to sex fire mouths is venting or letting them pair up. Give it some time. They might just do it. If you want easy fish to breed try a female parrot cichlid x Texas male. That would make some red Texas and fader hybrids.
