The "Jewel Fish Turkana Blood Red" likely refers to the Turkana Jewel Cichlid (Hemichromis exsul), a vibrant fish with a ruby-red body and iridescent turquoise spots

It is an active, hardy, and semi-aggressive cichlid native to Lake Turkana in Kenya

During breeding, its color intensifies, and it becomes particularly aggressive, so it is kept in a species-only or large, well-escaped aquarium with robust tankmates

Originating from the alkaline waters of Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya, the Turkana Jewel Cichlid is one of the smaller and more docile members of its genus, making them much more suitable aquarium fish than the large growing and extremely aggressive species of their former genus, Hemichromis which are more commonly available in the hobby

With their vivid blood red coloration and and active, outgoing nature, this species makes an impressive centerpiece fish or addition to a mixed species cichlid community aquarium provided they are given ample space to maintain a territory

Although this species is peaceful for an African Cichlid, they are still territorial (especially when breeding) and tankmates should be chosen with care

The Turkana Jewel Cichlid is extremely hardy and will do well under a wide variety of conditions but they will display their color in slightly hard, alkaline water
