I have been told that jewel cichlids are officially classed as dwarf cichlids - so I hope people don't mind this being here. Does anyone know what Hemichromis species 'forest' jewels are ? I have two that I recently bought as 'forest' jewels but a book I have shows 'forest' jewels to have white spots and mine have blue spots. A friend of mine said that H. lifalili has white spots and I was wondering if they are the same fish ? Can someone describe how to diagnose the actual species of jewel cichlid I have ( I will have photos of mine in 3 days and can send them then ). regards, Simon http://thecichlidtank.cjb.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
