Shiva, jewels can be real mean, especially when breeding or protecting fry.

Shiva, these fish are very much like americans. same water, same food, same environment. i find that they do better in my american tank than with africans. i have 1 in my african tank but he is very docile. as far as community tanks go, they are calm if there is only one in the tank and vicious if you have a bonded pair

thaks Dan. i would love to have 1 of these in my 20 gal with some diamond tetras.

i doubt that the tetras would stand a chance. these guys love fresh meat

really, that aggressive.even with the larger 2 inch diamonds tetras? that sucks. might have to rethink my plan then...
