For anyones reference,these solid red jewels are Hemichromis Lifalli and are often but not always referred to and/or sold as Crown Jewels.They tend to stay under 5 inches and are fairly sensitive to their water conditions.What you most often see for sale are Hemichromis Bimaculatus which are red on top fading to a bright orange about halfway down.If the solid reds are what you want be sure to verify that they are Lifallis and not Bimacs.They often cost about 2-3x more than Bimacs as well.
@stnwllstv CORRECTION: H. Lifallis is known as Blood-Red Jewels and H. Cristatus is the Crown Jewel. The ones in this video are most probably Lifalilis or possibly Cristatus (but probably not). Definitely not Bimacs or Payneis.
2000 fry? They only max out at about 700-900. And it is very unusual for the female to take on a smaller male. They are a beautiful red best blood red jewels I've seen. Thumbs up!
hey just wondering, i have a red jewel that was very vivid when i purchased it in the store just as yours are here instead they are a bland vanilla color... is it the black contrast that they turn red in or is my fish just stressed? anyone can help me?
@shadicx90 Don't really know how long it took the eggs to hatch as we didn't even know there were eggs. Just happen to go down by the tank and saw approx. 2,000 new fry. Sorry I couldn't provide more info.
Its difficult trying to identify the sex of them. For mine, the bright red one is the male and the lighter red is the female. My male is also smaller than the female, which is unusual.
@rwardynski Sexing them is actually quite easy.... Just look at the tail, The females have a red edge and a little bit of color on the tip of the tail and it fades out to a yellowish grey as you go halfway down...The males on the other hand have sky blue and red markings all over their tail all the way to the body... I read it somewhere and have tested it out myself and it has been very accurate so far :)
@rwardynski Thats not unusual actually. In the fish world, it is common for the female to be the more dominant and larger one. This is not always true, but sometimes.
