Here are my jewel cichlids. I was wondering about sex and what kind of jewel they are. they both came from the same tank, and the dull one had even better colours than the big guy/girl(?), but was purchased only 3 days ago, and has flushed his colour.

hope the pics turn out ok. cause they aren't now.:irked:
 
Try reposting the pics.
 
the top 2 are of the bigger one, the lower one is the smaller one. once again, the little guy had even better colours at the store, but must be a little stressed. his tail and fins are red now. i'm pretty sure that they are the same age, but i feed my fish more than the fish store, so thats why the guy in the top pics is bigger. again, i want to know, boy or girl, and what kind of jewels are these guys? the big one is like 4 inches, and the little guy is like 1.5 inches.
 
big one, not positive but i would say MALE, pointed dorsal and anal fins..who knows for sure..
 
Your big one looks great, about how long did it take to get to 4". Mine (3) are currently at 2"; I cant wait for them to get full grown. I am also going to pick up some more. hope the bigger ones dont go after the newbies. Any poblems between your two?
 
Ive had one for almost 3 years... one of the meanest fish i have ever seen, RELENTLESS on a fish once it picks his/her target... Mine harassed a jade Goby for 2 years... also fought with a JAguar cichlid that was 3" bigger... Now its in my COnvict tank, with some JD's still throwing its weight around too! Beautiful colors... switches colors by its mood, form red, to pink, to orange, to yellow..Genuine
