Good ID.... But they call them Blue spotted Jewels in my neck of the woods... But same difference!!!

 

[sandtiger]

Yup...Jewel...I wish they were all that easy .

BTW...I don't know if you know this but your SN says flamming...not flaming. You only need one "M".

 

[FlammingWoodChuck]

I know that it is spelled that but i always try to spell that way just to be different

 

[guppy]

I thought you meant phlegming.

hahahah that last pic with the rtc brought back memories. i had a jewel cichlid just like the one pictured and i had it in a 10 gallon. i bought a baby rtc and put them together. next morning the rtc was fat as hell and i never saw the jewel again. hahahahah
