My new salvini pair spawned for the first time, and now I have about 100 free swimming fry. The male had a previous female that he spawned with and then killed. This time I am only seeing aggression with other fish in the tank. I love these fish in breeding dress.

they are very pretty!!! you don't see to many brightly colored Yellow SA cichlids. right on man what size tank you got them in??? who else is in there w/ them
 
They are in a 75 with a pike and a severum. The pike is probably going to be moved because I have found that I really like the salvini much more.

Thanks for the nice comments.
 
They will more than likely be culled as feeders. There simply is not a market where I live unfortunately. I would have to grow them to 2.5-3 inches just to get 1-2 bux credit at my lfs.
 
Thanks again for the nice comments. Believe it or not, the female actually came from WalMart at about 1". I am very anti-WalMart fish department, but I had the male and my LFS almost never carries Sals unless they are a trade in. Occasionally it pays off to browse even the worst places for some fish.
