I'm sorry for not answering your question sooner. I didn't see it until now. A jewel cichlid is an african cichlid which comes from Lake Victoria. I have three of them in my community 125 gallon cichlid showtank, two females, one male. So yes, you can have them together, but as with all cichlids, you'd have to watch for aggression. What works for me may not work for someone else. My jewels don't get picked on, but that could be because the one I posted the pic of is the largest in the tank ranging between 4.5 to 5 inches. What also helps is that almost all of the cichlids that are in my 125 were put in at the same time so there wasn't any established territories that needed defended.

Out of the pictures I posted, all of them are in the same tank except for the white juves.
