two juvenile fire mouths in it, my friend asked me if i wanted a juvenile yellow lab male, he said if i don't take it hes going to feed it to his other fish!
Now i know your not suppose to mix different cichlids like american, and african. But not caring about fry and cross breeding, would i be able to house 2 fire mouths and say 2 or three yellow electrics? 1 male 2 females or 1 male 1 female, in a 30 gallon tank? Again not caring if they crossbreed, would this mix get along?

It's not about crossbreeding. The water conditions these two types of fish need to thrive are complete opposites. I would suggest you do some more research on how to properly care for your fish, then pick which type you would like to keep, and provide the environment to suit them best.
