What kind of cichlids were looking to get into? African, South american or others?

its a flowerhorn and between him and the oscars, you might have a war on your hands

A Flowerhorn, a hybrid man made. Personally I think they are fake and ugly looking. JMO tho.

the easiest cichlid by far to bred is a pair of convicts, my friend has a pair and his water conditions are horrible and they still breed like crazy.

Very true,and by the info;if they are in a 10 gallon,there's going to be major trouble very soon.Oscars are highly territorial,and will kill ANY fish,that invades that territory,especially while breeding.In a 10 gallon,as babies,everything may be ok,but it is still way over stocked.They will grow to 9 inches in about 9 months,but you will either decide to get rid of them,or upgrade your size aquarium,within the 1st 2 months.(just a prediction)
