that white fish looks like a pink Con, so yes its possible. Also, cichlids have been known to date outside of there genus.......hahaha...
 
those both appear to be convicts so definitely possible
 
yea the "big white one" is a male pink convict, which is just another color morph of a convict, so the eggs are most likely fertile. when my regular striped cons breed, the fry are about a third pink and the rest normal. its all about genetics
 
all the eggs gone, what happend to them? any ideas? also i see my convicts carring little rocks to the outside from that decoration thing they layed eggs.
