jewel cichlids

Question
How do I get my jewels a bright red color? I have three in a 10 gallon and there just staying grey.

Answer
Hi Daniel,
 You don't "get" them that way.  They turn bright red when they are breeding.  10 gallons is too small for a pair of jewels.  You need something at least twice that size.  When a pair forms, they will turn bright red all on their own.
