Jewel Cichlids?

[snake007]

Can they live in a 10 gallon all of their life?

 

[Kelly-Jo]

No, ideally they need at least 30 gallons. If they are young they might be okay for a short period of time but they will outgrow it and the tank will need upgrading.

No. They grow to around 5 inches each and are quite bulky. Plus can get quite aggressive (apparantly although mine is fine).

aquella is usually right. I get so annoyed when people ignore her brilliant advice. It even says 'top contributor', and yet they choose to ignore her. RAGE.

I know - the other guy said aquella is wrong and doesnt know anything - That kind of thing annoys me, HE doesnt know anything.

OK... We have enough controversy here on TFF without importing it from other sites.
