Hi guys.

I have a pair of salvini cichlids.

I would like to know if you guys think I have a breeding pair or 2 females please.

Here are some pics. I am sure from what I have read that in both pics the fish at the back is deffo a female.

This one is the one I think is the male of the pair. Am I right?

Thanks for any advice. :)
 
Yeah I had a male and they don't look like him. Awesome coloration!!!
 
Looks like to females but if you have a breeding pair then one has to be male
 
nice salvini but like the others said, they're both females. the black on the dorsal fin is a dead give away also the black spot on the gill plate helps identify females.
 
they are both female......males don't get the black spot on the dorsal fin. keep the one w/ more of the RED on the body it's pretty....so is the other girl ahha nice long fins!!! would be a bute to breed w/ how big are they? 3-4"?

Thanks for the help guys. I will take one back & get a male. :)

It might be easier to get a pair if you get the male but wait to take one of the females back. Give him a choice.
