Maybe if they get along and were a bonded pair. Males can be very aggressive and they might be a bit cramped.

Have your heard of Turkana Jewel cichlids. They are less aggressive and stay smaller. You could get a small group of juveniles to grow out and once a pair forms, get rid of the others.

I post a thread on Turkana Jewel, which became available only a few years ago. https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/lake-turkana-jewel-cichlid.724808/

Turkana is smaller and less aggressive than other Jewel species, and adults retain red color at all time regardless of pecking order. Other species of Jewel can be drab in color in subordinate status.
