I have a salvini, Jack Dempsey, convict, Texas, Severum, Nicaraguan, and a Cuban cichlid. If any where to hybrids with it, what would it look like. Also open to other hybrids with Cubans.

Basically everyone but the sev (and nic?) has a chance. I’d expect the Cuban body shape and pattern mixed with the patterns of the other guys (blue spangling with Tex or jd, stripes with con, yellow patches with sal). Of course this is assuming the Cuban is a different gender from all the other fish, otherwise you can quickly rule out who it can and can’t breed with.
If you’ve seen a Cuban-flowerhorn, it looks like an all black flowerhorn.

Electric blue Jack Dempsey is the most commonly bred Cuban hybrid.
Hybrids are not uniform initially so asking what "this x that" would look like is pointless.
Ebjd is part Cuban?
