salvini

Hi all, My new job requires a lot of travel and makes me very busy, so I need to sell the remaining fish in my 110G tank. They are Electric blue JD and a Salvini. See pictures. Since the rest of the fish have left the tank, these two have been scuffling a bit, you can see scratches on...

Hello everyone, Iv been trying to cross my female salvini with my male Texas for just under a year now. I believe if this strain in properly line breed it could turn out some beautiful hybrid fish. Well they have finally had a batch of eggs. As of FEB-16-2022 I will keep posting updates as time...

JD, Salvini & convict in a 75 what kind of schooling / Dither fish can I put in with them? I was thinking tiger barbs, silver dollars or Buenos Aires Tetras.

Hi Everyone, I'll start by saying the I've only used the forum once before so apologies if this is in the wrong place.Admins please feel free to move it. Last year I asked everyone for advice on picking a personable/interactive wet pet that could live comfortably in a 3ft tank ( Interactive wet...

I stumbled upon this video and in it a fish breeder shows some very interesting and beautiful fish. Starting around the 20 minute mark he mentions a small breed of Festae he calls Equatorial Festae Anyone have any information of these? I personally have never heard of them. His claim is it’s a...

Just wanted to know since I have a female and a male. My female chases my male sometimes, is this breeding behavior?

Howdy y'all, My name is George, I'm new to the site, but not fish keeping. I had a 75 gallon tank with a pair of adult green terrors in college and a 220 with a few Oscars and a JD. It's been about seven years, but my sister just gave me her boyfriends 75 gallon tank so I'm going to clean it...

My salvini just layed her eggs with a jack Dempsey and I was wondering if it’s possible for the jack to fertilize the eggs.

male or female? Only around 2-3 inches

I've been thinking about it lately and I think I want to put together my first "monster" tank. I think the jump from 55 to 125 (6ft) isn't too crazy and greatly widens my stocking selections. To narrow it down I'd like to stock SA/CA cichlids. Filtration: I'm trying to decide between a Fluval...

i just got in my 3 salvini cichlids yesterday and I'm having a really tough time sexing them. I'm thinking i have 2 males and 1 female i was hoping 1 male 2 females, but anyways they haven't really colored up yet i guess from stress from traveling so i didn't snap any pics yet i may take some...

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with salvini cichlids. Theres not a lot online. Ive heard that they are agressive and was wondering if its true and what would be suitable tankmates

hey y'all, my salvini pair has just bred for the first time and it's also my first time breeding any fish. Would like to know how frequently I should do water changes and what to feed them. The female has them all huddled up in a pit right now so I'm thinking they are still eating their egg...

Anybody have any luck keeping Jack's and salvini together with breeding pair of convicts? Just added cons as dithers a week ago and they paired up instantly, (less then a week) started nesting had no clue the sex until now female is bright red/orange and nesting

I believe this specimen is male but could be wrong. Not looking to breed, just generally curious. Thanks!

Hey guys, need some input on this. Having a few minor aggression issues. Recently I added the mesoheros atromaculatus that I rescued from craigslist into my 90 gallon tank. They seemed healthy enough to skip the last part of quarantine so I plopped 'em in there. They already seem much happier to...

Im thinking of adding a rainbow wolf fish to my tank he would be just a little bit smaller than other fish his tankmates will consist of Oscar Green terror Jaguar Salvini Jack dempsey 2 small plecos Any concerns ? Any help would be appreciated

Can I put a juvenile salvini & juvenile Jack Dempsey in a 40 Breeder til I get a bigger tank & if so how long?

Well i have three Salvini and so far two have been tail slapping and showing sign of pre spawning behavior. The fish are 2.8 - 3" and i was convinced i had three females. So are they really females or is one a male i only took a pic of the two who were showing signs of pre spawning behavior.
