| Here is my 37 Gallon tank which I had for about 5 months Got it for around 60 bucks with everything in it.  The pic at the bottom is my Jewel. Now I still can't really tell the difference between a male and a female. I know Males will get Extremely red during mating but what the difference in red in a female?   Other boys or girls fish in there which I can never tell the difference between the sex   Pleco  Very over crowded TBH... I didnt expect the Silver dollars and the Giants Denios to get so big! And of course this: Mean ALWAYS EAT BEFORE YOU GO DIPPING WITH FISHES |

| Nice tank yes silver dollars can get quite big.  Of course that's not what the LFS is going to tell you. |

| nice fish... for the jewel I'd look at my videos, i have a small deep red jewel that looks way more darker and colorful, maybe that's a male and you have females? I dunno. |

Yeah. I think your is a male. They have that deep bright red color with the jewels.... they just look amazing.
I got mine from a lil girl who put her in a bow of tap water. It was cute but deadly for the Jewel so i was like "no way" sorry little girl... but Iam taking ur fish... I was amazed that it even lived for about 18 hours before I brought her into my 46 gallon tank... they are some hardy beautiful fish.. |

| Need better pic of the jewel but I'm leaning towards a male. Just so you know you will need a 55g pretty quick to move the African rift lake cichlids into and you will probably have to re-home a few of those tropical community fish or get a larger tank for them as well. |
