i have 3 jewel cichlids, 2 females 1 male, they have breed 4-5 times in last few months, i have a bunch of fry growing now. arround 200.
i dont know what jewels i have but i have noticed a difference between the male and females. the females have red and black lines arround the edge of all there fins on both of them, the male is all the same colour (all over body) obviously patterned but constant all over body.
my females are also bigger then my male, male is very COLOURFUL but the female he breeds with is also pretty colourful.
i will add some pictures later.
