Mate if your coming down for the next auction let me know and I can pass on a spare breeding pair that we have. If not you can grab some of our spare 7,8 or 9cm ones and let them pair of themselves if you want. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Bryce.
oh thnx bryce, they kissed and made up and are doing fine now, i think the male was upset she ate the eggs lol, but they are doing fine at the moment, thnx n e way
What kind of fish am I able to keep with a pair of jewel cichlids?
Any help is greatly appreciated Tom :)
any medium sized cichlids, jewels can be very agresive at times, so make sure they are with a fish that can survive its attacks but not fight back and kill the jewel
Mate I keep mine with whiptails, cory's, pleco's, clown loaches through to ghost knives and hoplo's. Along with too many other fish to mention but you get the drift, we even have a breeding pair in with a breeding pair of Green Sev's. The only time they show aggression is when they are guarding eggs and fry. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Bryce.

thnx
