Ahh if you’re on a budget then a large tank for nano fish is gonna cost a lot. You need a lot of Nano fish to make a tank look full and nano fish can run from about $1 to $5 a piece for me. If you want to get rare nano fish then make it even more. Let’s say I get 200 nano fish at $1 each, that’s already $200 on fish alone. If it’s more then it’s gonna cost a lot more.

In nature salvini get about 15 centimeters (6 inches) although they sometimes get larger in aquariums.
3 may work in your tank, with no other fish, except maybe some dithers (no other cichlids), but size is not usually the issue. They can be extremely territorial, and aggressive in small spaces, and even though they are shy now as youngsters, at maturity, or breeding age is when the carnage starts.
If you have a male and two females it may help, or 3 females.
Males usually kill any females that don't immediately want to spawn at maturity.
Be ready with another tank to separate them, as they grow.

HRP would be great for this tank. Never really had much issues w/ them destroying plants either. I would do a pair w/ some livebarers in that tank. The tank looks good btw.
