I need to find out what kind of cichlids these are. they don't mouth breed.

 

[Dan_Forbz]

they look sort of like peacocks with the shape. or perhaps a jewel cichlid, only thing is peacocks are mouth brooders, for the most of them. jewel cichlids are egg layers. and look reasonably close. maybe a cross breed ?
what size are they fully mature?

All of them look like severums to me.

Pink convicts, for sure. The one with the orange belly is a female.

+1 to Pink Cons.

Always important to know what you are getting before you tank them....

so does anyone have any suggestions on whether i can put the convicts in with other cichlids? (55 gallon)

 

[HN1]

How many do you have? Other fish in the tank? How long has it been set up? If the cons pair and breed (which they will) any other cichlids in the tank will become territorial threats and you will likely experience problems with aggression.

i have to say they are albino convicts due to the fact i have a bunch of them they were a result of my regular convicts mating so i kept them but i could be wrong the look just like mine

They are not alibinos; they have black eyes.
