There was a member here that had parrot crosses with all kinds of different SA/CA cichlids. It was a few years ago, but I sure one could still find them with some searching.

EDIT: here is what I found;

I have an extremely fertile JellyBean (pink convict x parrot) and a juvenile zz FH separated right now in a 29g. Getting ready to put the FH in a 75g in a few days. Think I should give it a shot if it's even possible? If so, any recommendations on how I should go about doing it?

There's some in my gallery. They don't really do my female JellyBean much justice. She's has beautiful coloring. I'll see if I can get a better pic tonight.

Irngynt ,

Did you ever let that breeding happen ???

Tips i would do is raise the temp , feed heavy protein to the female and maybe add two males see which one matches up.
