You made me realize something, Lorabell. I had MAJOR drama in my 55 where I had the first two jewels. One of the jewels did some pretty good damage to the other tank inhabitants. After this thread and a PM with SWilkins, I'm starting to think it was spawning behavior. I'm going to put them in their own tank.

Thank you

Naughty little jewels!!!. I'm so sorry they are naughty.

Oh, please, don't apologize. Naughty fish are VERY MUCH LOVED AND ADORED in our house. That's why we have so many cichlid tanks. They're in the perfect home.

To be honest, I like the feistiness. Plus, this'll give me an excuse to try to figure out how to set up another tank in my bedroom because I really enjoy watching them, especially when they're naughty.

Good I know they can be little stinkers...That very well might have been breeding behavior.
