Spawned again. About 500 eggs, god some pictures but phone playing up
 
i have 4 jewels,and 3 breed a lot(about once a month). the 3 are a male and 2 females,he goes back and forth. im almost certain the shaking is courting, the second female to start breeding did that a lot. i have always left the eggs in,and they've always made it to fry. yes,even there first try. they are great parents. but the fry arent very smart,and wander out of the parents "forcefield"(no other fish will go near them when there breeding) and get eaten. good luck with yours. and bob mccoy,10 gallons is WAY too small for jewels, id say 40 gallon minimum,and even thats on the small side(but without other fish,you could probably have more than 1 pair)
 
I fixed phone, here is pictures of day 1. Will update daily

thats a lot of eggs,mine always spawn either in a pot or a sphinx decoration. i can't see in either very well(kinda in the pot). mine took a couple days to hatch(3 or 4 i think). how big are yours? my one female was about an inch on her first spawn,the other about an inch and a half.
 
Mine have spawn of fake ocean rock. They are nearly 2inchs in size. Cant wait for th em to hatch
