what is it? and is it capable of eating other small fish (like neons) ?

Wippit Guud · Jan 18, 2004

Looks like a Jewel cichlid to me.

What kind of small fish are you planning on putting in with it?

PumaWard · Jan 18, 2004

Yeah, they could eat neons. Something like tiger barbs would make more suitable tankmates.

Ah, the drunken skeleton pirate. A classic!

A good rule of thumb- "any fish will eat any other fish that it can fit inside it's mouth."

you sure thats a jewel?

PumaWard · Jan 18, 2004

Here's a picture of a jewel that I got off a googled image search

I would say that Wippit is right. Jewels are like the West African equivelant of Convicts. They have nasty tempers and are very prolific.

They're absolutely nasty, funny you mention convicts because my g/f tried to keep the two together and the jewel killed the convict.
