New jewel fry. By the way, the algae on the side of the tank is fry food.

It's hard to tell with a single jewel. The females are usually smaller and have more intense coloration.

I'm quite sure these are Hemichromis Lifalili (not bimaculatus).
don't know if in the biz in U.s.a. their name is Jewel too.
