Hi, I don't know about breeding jewels but normally cichlids eat their eggs due to inexperience after a few rounds they should learn not to.

Hi, The tank is 18inches long, but the thing is i just lifted the cave and the eggs have gone and there are these white rigglers in the gravel so i think they have hatched there aren't many, but the eggs have gone and the females still guarding so i guess they're fry.

Hi, Pair 1; She normaly has a bright purple belly but has lost it. The male he has long fins etc. And the male in the other pair. And i cannot take a picture of the female as shes gaurding some eggs. But i know shes a female because she also has a bright purple belly.

No, I'm notpositive i am about the female but not the male, the other krib in the tank is what i would term as a blushing krib his belly and face is red so its hard to tell. But i think its a he beacuse its bigger than the female and is long torpedo shape like a male. However i haven't seen...

Hi, With my firemouths i did have some blue acaras, convicts (untill they decided to spawn and i had to separate them) and i had some kribs in there with them and they all got along fine.

Hi, Ludwig, There isn't a lot of movement, but i have been checking more often than usual as the other pair ate the fry. Fishyfreak, yeah this could be one problem, its the males what eats them not the female, with my other pair i saw the male actually eat one i thought he was just going to...

Hi, I have two pairs of convicts, they are in a tank which is divided into two tanks, and there are a pair in each side. The divider is see through. My question is each time the pairs spawn they eat their fry, is this because its their first clutch or is it a long term problem? Should i...
