I've added a t5 atinic bulb to my set up and the red jewels in breeding colours look fantastic! just like yours!

Kool matt...i need one of those bulbs myself

looks good, Christian.

I'll try and get a good pic later!

Very pretty,
Mean territorial buggers though.

thnx s m.....yea they certainly are mean

I had a green one about 2" and she cornered 22 mbunas' in about 12" of a 55g long tank and kept them there for a week...finally put her in another tank and she ate the tails off 3 fish. Her next move was back to the lfs ;)

lol crazy fish!

nice pair, any luck with breeding?

not yet Karrie....i dont think shes ready....even if they did i wudnt know because i think everyone in the tank would attack the eggs especially my pictus catfish

If they were ready, nothing would get to their eggs, i assure you, unless its bigger or stronger, i had a breeding pair, and they would hold their own.

beautiful jewels Christian and Karrie is correct. mine held an entire tank of mbuna and large peas and haps at bay

lol ok thnx guys for that...i will be on the look out for that...uugghh wat did i get myself into with these jewels lol...they might be almost reaedy to breed tho...never seen them with this much color at all...and they are being lil meanies latley..

Christian..I had a pair and they were nasty when breeding.

I like their color! The rest of the fish should start plotting now on how to rid themselves of possible eggs, lol.
**S M, that was one crazy fish, talk about severe pms.

lol bip
