When they mature they have spectacular colors, wicked teeth as well, awesome fish....

Well said. They can develop a pretty nasty attitude too. I have one that's about 5-6" now and it's one of the most beautiful fish I have. It shouldn't take much time at all for it to get to that size.
 
Salvini's are very cool. I have one right now (My 3rd) and its around 2-3" and is already showing brilliant yellow with red/orange in the side of its belly. Thay can be mean tho as said before. Make sure his tank mates can stand and fight if necessary

Good luck

good...call me crazy...but i dropped him in there w/ a sn catfish...w/ about 1/2 dozen feeders though...the catfish is only about 5-6" right now though so i think the salvini will be fine.

I would stay away from feeders, you're asking for disease.....
