Largest Salvini CIchlid

[NorCaliCichlids]

I've seen some in the 8" range. They just take a looooong time to get there.

sorry guys i was gone camping for the weekend , but i might sell my salvini pair because i am getting a 5" male festae and maybe a large female , but if i can put the salvinis in my 180 g temporarily would they kill and eat my little 2.5 inch w/c festaes, im not sure if the sals could eat them whole,

my shy male. loves to hide but when his true colors show, its a stunning sight to see. pushing five or so inches.

I know its been a year...But that is my salvini male but I dont remember where I had posted that pic of him.

do not put those salvini in with the young festae. salvini are mean especialy once they have paired off.

The biggest I've had was a 6" female, but unfortunately I don't have her anymore. I hope my male gets bigger, but he is close to 4" right now. He is very chill and never hides.
