Jewel Cichlids???

[DerpyCichlid]

So these fish were sold to me as Blood red Jewel cichlids (hemichromis lifalili). They are only supposed to get around 3 inches. Right now my largest cichlids is pushing 4 inches. I'm thinking they are hemichromis bimaculatus. Can anyone help me to identify between the species?

Also they are about 10 months old or so

Awesome looking jewel they are really striking. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable with old world fish can help you but good luck with them.
