Default Pair of Jewels in this tank?

I posted earlier about possibilities for my 20L. Well, it's just about
done cycling and it's time for fish. pH is around 7.3 (right outta the
tap). I think I'd like to go w. a pair of Jewels (as posted in the
other thread, thanks Amateur). This tank look ok for them?

your hiding spots, may be just roofs, what about putting a rock against the
back of the right hand side stack of rocks, to make a 'hole' or a one way
entrance... that gives some extra security for the pair to 'breed' in, as
far as I've seen/read...

btw, the tank looks great.... those are fake decors, right? they look really
nice...

Hey Rich

Just a thought, I kinow from experience that Jewels are EXTREMELY violent.
Instead of getting a pair get 3. So one of them can act as a "target fish".
I guarantee that your Jewels will breed within a month of their new home! If
the female is not ready yet he will literally beat her to death, a target
fish will help distribute the aggression and to tighten the bond between the
brooding couple.

**So long, and thanks for all the fish!**

Looks good, but you need more hiding places. get more rock to make caves.
one of them will chase the other and kill it if they cant hide. I have 2 of
em in a 60 gallon with a 7.5 inch red devil. he tries to get em but they
are smart and fast and have many hiding spots. Enjoy. jim
