killiguy Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Its pretty hard to to pass up the reds in a red forest jewel (this is H.guttatus).When breeding they are seriously red.They do have a nasty side.You havent told us about the fish they would be sharing with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adzzy Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 I used to stoke SA cichlids for about 10 years and the wife recently decided that she wanted a salt water tank so i have meet her half way and changed to African cichlidsThe only 3 fish i have kept from my original setup is a very large Flagtail and 2x 35cm Plecos which now share the tank with around 50 African cichlids from all over, mind the spellingLethrinops 2 typesTropheus 3 typesPeacocksBurtoniDolphinsFrontosaAcieSaulosiMainganoBrownae XMAS FuluChilumbaTaiwan reefVenustusAfra cobweto name a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viper Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Killiguy has the right idea, you wont get redder than a breeding red jewel. If you get a male and female they are the easiest fish to breed.MIne would not stop spawning. I got 3 spawns out of mine and I placed them back in the display tank, where they spawned again. I just let them go, that lot fed a few fish, but I had plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
