i have no clue on how to sex salvini but i'm going to watch this thread because i just bought one and it looks a lot like yours... only about 1.5" though haha.
Black blotch on the dorsal and a reasonable sized black spot on the operculum indicates a female.
Males tend to have the black blotch on the dorsal but only have a really tiny black dot surrounded by fluorescent blue lining. Females have a much bigger black to blue ratio if that makes sense.
Male, not the small dot right at the rear end of the operculum - no black in this one.
Female blotch.
That should pretty much cover it.

damn japes are you stoned LOL. i know what you're talking about but that hurt my head to read.
but yeah what japes said is spot on
females = black dot surrounded by blue on gill plate. also tend to have alot of red on their bodies
MALES = no dot on gill plate and more blue down body

Not always true, some males have a small dot, and pretty much all males have the fluorescent blue lining regardless of whether there's a dot or not.
