A quick google scan finds:

2 extracts from the

a: Tank Mates. When small, green terrors mix with any number of small
cichlids as well as other speedy tank mates. We recommend barbs.

b: Dither Fish Secret. Adding a perceived outside threat, adds to the
green terrors' tendency to bond together. Convict cichlids make an
excellent dither fish candidate. They like to argue and can run away
at
escape velocity. Do not add a male and female convict or they will
breed
all other fishes out of house and home.


Yes I've had convicts breed right in the middle of a 55 swarming with
other cichlids.

Convicts just breed! Stopping them can be a challenge if you need to
give something else a chance to get going.

out of house and home."
