can these 2 cichlids hybridize??? a friend of mine belives they can

Maybe this should be moved to the hybrids forum?

I'm not sure as I've never heard of any cases of these two species hybridizing, but they are from the same genus, so I wouldn't say it's beyond the realm of possibility

I have heard of stranger combinations as well as this combination in the past
