Pretty common, so don't expect to make much. Or sell online. You could probably get a deal with your LFS though.
plenty of info on salvini available
Pretty common around me lfs dont sell them for much. Can pretty much always find a 2-3 in for maybe 4-5$ Currently have 6 grow outs that I dont really want anymore due to how skiddish they are. Got all 6 from a local breeder for 15$.
Not a particularly high demand fish. While really quite stunning as
Kailash
stated they can be very reclusive and downright nasty to tankmates. They also seem to be somewhat slow growers, and when you combine these traits with the fact that they breed like rabbits they are in the same price range as convicts at my lfs. After spawning, keep a close eye on the female to make sure she does not become a victim of domestic violence. Especially if they are close in size and she can't hide in places he can't enter. I personally really like them but they are not for everyone.
