Does anyone have experience with Jewel Chichlids? I want to add some to my African 46 tank. They would have plenty of room in there.

Do they need anything special? I looked on there profile and they look like typical chichlids....

Research the temperaments of your other fish before adding Jewels, which can be quite fierce. Whether or not a breeding pair forms it's not uncommon for a whole tank of fish to be wiped. It's recommended to add only if you have larger fish that are fairly tough.. If other tankmates, you also might want a larger tank or more territories/hiding spots.

What if I added one instead of two? I have a Slender Mbuna (about 1" and an Albino Zebra Mbuna(1 1/2"

I did some research, but have been getting mixed reviews.
