Cohabitation on the extreme. . .

Just out of curiousity, but can a Salvini and a convict live for life in a 40?

Yesh it could be done, only problem would be if you had different genders they might pair up and breed. 40gal breeder would be a better option though.

agree it can be done, barring any overly aggressive specimen that just hates the other, but generally yes

I have done it before.

thanks. for the answers guys. and if they were the same sex chances of breeding?

if they were the same sex chances of breeding?

If they were the same sex I'm sure it would turn out to be more than frustrating for them if they tried breeding.

if I were to do it - - and I think you can - - I would do either male convict + female salvini, or both female . . .

Post a pic up. Usually, the females will have a lot more red on their undersides, a black spot on their lower gill plate, and a lot less blue spangling. I've noticed black on the dorsal is not always true for sals..
