Sorry about the blurry pictures, the male looks much better than female in person.
 
Nice pair those are amazing salvini.What did you mean by not ordinary did you just mean they were nice lookin or are they a different kind.
 
Thanks. They are the red variant and they get big. The female gets at least 8" and the male gets at least 10". They are immature pair. The mature female usually have red that covers almost the entire body and mature male has metallic blue and red.

Salvini have always been one of my favorite cichlids, but I've never heard of them reaching lengths of over 6-7" Even males..soo..

Are you sure they're not a hybrid or something? Can't see the pics right now but will check tonight. can't wait to see:nilly:

Headrush,
they look to be 100% the real deal. I question the size thing also but hey I never say never. These are one of my most prized cichlids as well so I would love to see mine reach 10''. But since I have never had any make it past adolecence I will be eager to see if that size can be obtained this go around.
 
now i feel like buying salvinis :irked:
