Can a female striped convict mate with a female pink kissing gourami?((hurry and ANSWER))

Question

i baught a male striped convict to mate with one of the three of my pink kissing gouramis and it turns out all 3 of the pink kissers are males.

so if i buy a female pink kisser could i breed them?

also what if its the other way around male pink kisser and female striped convict please hurry and answer:)

Answer 1

They will not mate, due to the fact that fish normally are not cross-breeding animals, unlike dogs or cats.  

Answer 2

No they will not mate, cichlids and gourami are from different families. Decide whether you want to breed kissing gourami or convict, or both, but you cannot cross breed them.

Answer 3

Umm...I don't think you can do that because they are two WAY different types of fish! The only fish I know of that can interbreed would be platys and swordtails.

Edit: Oh I think they meant they can go in the same tank. But as far as mating that is a definite negative. You can't really always trust those people who work at pet stores....they aren't always the most educated
