 | Jewel Cichlids!!!!! |
Badgers034 Hobbyist Posts: 59 Kudos: 23 Votes: 4 Registered: 15-Feb-2006   | Will a jewel cichlid fit into a 29 gallon tank?? I moved all of my other fish into a 20 gallon tank and now I want a Jewel cichlid. Is it possible?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? |

I don't think a jewel would get stunted in a 29 gallon. they usually only grow from 4-6" anyway so I think a single pair would be fine in a 29. I'd go with a breeding pair and not put anything else in there.  |

| Jason_R_S Moderator Posts: 2811 Kudos: 2421 Votes: 391 Registered: 18-Apr-2001 | yes I think a single jewel would be just fine in a 29. this is assuming we're talking about a red jewel though and not one of the 5 spot jewels. |

| Badgers034 Hobbyist Posts: 59 Kudos: 23 Votes: 4 Registered: 15-Feb-2006 | yes, Red Jewel. But how about a Jack Dempsey? |
