I have two jewel cichlids. The light one in the pictures is about 2 inches and the bright one is about 3. I want to know if they are the same type of jewels because a friend told me there were differen names for em or is it just size difference? Maybe male and female??

Both of them look like jewels. In my experience when they are ready to breed/defending their territory they'll color up a lot more...on second thought...the second one is missing a dot...hmmm interesting...
 
Actually it's missing two dots because the first one has 3 that's why I thought they were different. I knew they were both jewels but the red one never changes to the other ones color and it's been like that for about 3 months
