Electric Blue interbreeding with Chipoka

Would a Aulonocara stuartgranti "Chipoka" (Sunshine Peacock) interbreed with a Sciaenochromis ahli (electric blue iceberg) ??

Well the Labidochromis caeruleus I could understand would interbreed with a Labidochromis hongi as they are in the same family, but these fish are not in the same family at all.

As long as you had enough females for each male you probably wouldn't have any problems.

That's what I was thinking.  I had that mixture together for awhile with two females to each male and didn't really have any issues.  My issue with the mixture was agression problems from the Electric Blue.  The Chipoka was a much more calm and laid back male and got stressed pretty easily and eventually met his demise as a result.

If I did this it would be something like this.

2x male electric blue 6x female
2x male Chipoka and 3x female
6-8x L. sp "hongi"  (we will see what the HAS auction will bear) in that tank.  I have 4 right now ... want to get another trio in there to fill it out.
1x male H. oxyrhynchus 2x female  (they are juvi right now)

This would all go into a 75.
