ok i have a new find what are they !

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
yea real nice red jewels
 
ive breed them like 3 seperate times trying to get a deep bright red color out of different ones. Then I gave up... Im still in school lol... They wont be shy for too long...
 
they are my most owner responsive fish
always begging for food
have ten of them in a single tank
once i got them i had to get a new tank for them
 
Hemichromis(jewels) species are from african river systems originally. Jewels like the ones you have are bred like many other cichlids with so many generations in captivity they adapt to just about any regular water parameters. These can be killers especially when spawning. I had a 5" male kill a 5" female & 7" male pr. of labiatums(red devil) & a 6" male nigrofasciatus(convict) years ago. nice fish though
