Ok I think these are the 2 best Salvini I've ever seen. AWESOME Fish!!

I've been trying to find a female for a while to replace the juvie I lost (she was as bright as yours at 3"). So...where did you buy them? Are they wild caught or what? I gotta know!

They are F1s. The old male breeder is F0.

how are their temperments?

They are territorial but not too aggressive.

unbelievable size and coloration, especially for a female. pound for pound she's almost as chunky as my female devil. very impressive fish

From where? Rapps?

No, the original F0s were collected from Mexico.

interesting, so have you collected them (the breeders) yourself or did you get these F1's from import?

 

[polomax24]

Thanks. This particular red/blue variant was originally introduced to the hobby by Ken H. and John N.. The male has more blue than red.

Here we go.

No, I did not import the F1s, they are the babies from the F0s. FYI, Jeff Rapps is not the only person that supplies CA/SA cichlids. People have been collecting and keeping CA/SA cichlids for a long time even before Jeff worked for the wholesaler.

Wow didn't mean to bother you with that question o' Master of the obvious.

I was not asking about your F1's if you read my post properly you may have caught that...I was just curious where you got them (F0's) because I've been looking myself. I guess it was my mistake thinking this forum was for sharing information to expand our hobby.

Have a great day
