jewels are cool

[headbanger_jib]

what kind of jewels are those? such vibrant reds.

just common lfs jewels nothing special
the common red jewel chiclids and the turquoise blue jewel chiclids
yeah they seem to be all red and active all the time

Awesome color on the jewels. It tempts me so much to get some.

thanks
they should be pretty common everywhere

Those are really nice looking.

Got any FTS?
How many of them do you have in that tank?
Any breeding?

FTS
i have 20 of them in that tank
and most of them were brought when they were like 1"+
and now there are a few who are 4.5"+

usually that happens with jewels a lot
the lfs keep them in deplorable conditions and thus they get sick or stressed and lose their color and also have a wierd shape due to less food and get skinny
every one of them i have picked was a runt at the lfs and wasn't as good looking as they are now
but after 3 days of good care and food they get all beautiful and pearly
they need some good lighting and a few plants to hide nice current in the tank and they like to live in groups
now every time they breed, the hand of the keeper goes down and removes all the eggs and scatters them in the tank, because if they breed that causes chaos in the tank and be sure to see a few dead ones around

I'm sure we can all agree that the Jewels are cool... especially the turquoise ones. I was actually thinking on getting some to add some colour to my tank. That's a real nice tank you got there!
