my aunt knows someone who is breeding jewel cichlids .. the other day i saw hers and fell in love with them i was just wondering if its possible for them 2 go with Oscars?

i myself breed jewels...and have done for many years...at the moment i have ten 2" jewels in with oscars over 8" waiting for them to pair up then i will remove the goosberys and sell all the pairs..this is not advised but it shows you that from a young age jewels are VERY compatible with oscars...but if you got a breeding pair beware for your oscar !!!!!! they grow to a tidy size and when breeding can be one of the nastiest cichlids available ..and see off fish 4 times their size !!!!!! so be sure to get all of one sex being either males or females ....but males have far better colour

thnx for the help dude cheers

always glad to help

I had a jewel cichlid with my two oscars when they younger. the jewel was a quarter the size of the oscars but at night it used to attack them from beneath and the oscars ended up with too many injuries so i gave it to a friend with a large tank that housed three different types of shark and silver dollars, catfish etc.. it now does well and isnt causing a problem anymore.

hello and welcome to the site bianca ........ and thanks for your input ..they are nasty little monsters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
