 | Personal experiences with jewel cichlids? |
Gourami    Mega Fish Posts: 1205 Kudos: 477 Votes: 1 Registered: 23-Apr-2002   | My lfs just got some jewel cichlids in. What are the more common ones in the trade? Im sure thats what they got since they never get anything uncommon. Would these cichlids get along ok with blue acaras, key holes and severums? Or are they more on the aggressive side? And how large do they get? Any general info on these fish would be great. Thanx  |
