What kind of jewel is that? I've never seen a red one!!

They are Hemichromis Lifalili in their breeding colors. More like everyday colors since they are constantly breeding.
 
Much like my Salvini, my jewel is a disappointment color wise. I probably need to get mates for both, but I've been reluctant to deal with potential aggression issues.
 
Here are a couple pics of my sp. Moanda. This is a while ago and they've gotten a more overall red color as they've aged. Enjoy.

dam how do you guys keep your jewels all bright like that. Mine are diamond jewels but they're not even nearly that bright colored. Is there any secrets to making jewels really good colored?
 
I accidently picked up this little hitchhiker when purchasing my mayan cichlid, he never had time to "blossum" as I returned him a few days later- he was being subjected to quite a bit of rough treatment in my little CA/SA growout tank...
