jewel cichlid

I would like to start breeding cichlids and originally I was going to go for Jewels but just wanted to know- What is the easiest cichlid to breed (in your opinion) and also no fish that need more than 45 gallons

I have seen people say you can put a pair of beautiful jewels in a 20 and some say at least in a 40. What do you think?

Here is what I'm curently thinking of doing, I need to know if this will work or not My tank is 50 Gallon and will be heavily planted. 1 Jewel Cichlid (unsure of exact species) 2 or 3 African Butterfly fish and 1 Lionhead/Blockhead/Buffalo head Cichlid Will this work for the tank I have...

Just wondering if I have a male or female thank you in advance.

Despite reading countless threads I would appreciate someone’s expertise! I also posted a thread in the breeding section for those who have experience with Blue Texas & Jack Dempsey hybrids. Please see pictures Cheers!

Here are some vids of my current cichlids. Sorry not the best, working with what I got to film them anyways here ya go

On Friday I went to The Wet Spot, since I now have a empty 29g. Not knowing for sure what I was going to get for it I looked around and found these two. They are around 1.5in for the bigger one 1.25in maybe for the smaller one. In store both were bright red. This pic was 3 hours after I got...

So today I went fish shopping and whilst looking round at the oddballs they had (8inch gulper catfish £99.00) I was drawn to the cichlid section where I saw my dream fish I have been after for 6 years (hard to find in my area of the UK) A 4inch male dovii, I have been after a dovii for years and...

Wondering what was the biggest jewel cichlid (guttatus) someone has owned post pics if you can share some monsters

Hi I won 8 fish at my local aquarium club (4x Jack Dempsey and 4x jewels). Unfortunately I really did not want more fish. Currently all living in a 40l tote until I can work out what to do with them. One option is to keep a pair of jewels and when my current Jack Dempsey grows out of his 30g...

So, I have read the jewel cichlids can be quite aggressive fin nippers and are best kept as a mating pair. From reading, I'm not entirely confident they may get along with my other tankmates. I have a highly aggressive dragon blood peacock, 3 fish harem of yellow labs, 3 fish harem of blue...

This is my 3rd time posting on this forum about my jewel and I really didn't get any help on this issue. My jewel cichlid hasn't eatin for a month and I really don't know what to do I tried an Epsom salt bath twice and nothing changed hes getting very skinny. The water perameters are perfect and...

I have a turquoise jewel cichlid who's not eating and it's been a few days. Whenever I feed the tank he comes to the top like everyone else but doesn't take any food down, he just taps the food with his mouth. I think he's having trouble opening his mouth because it looks like he wants to eat...

I have a turquoise jewel cichlid with a sunken belly and he doesn't seem to be eating. Whenever I feed the rank he comes to the top and it looks like he's about to take a pellet but he ends up just tapping it with his mouth and swims away. He then makes like he is chewing something when he...
