Salvini cichlids size?

[Jag586]

I was looking to put a pair in my 120 tank, but I keep getting conflicting sizes for these guys, some sites say 6.5 inches max some say 8.7 inches. Anyone know the correct size ? Maybe from experience

I have a pair in my 120 male is about 6 and my female is around 4. Awesome fish to own

 

[ehh]

I've seen plenty of males that were around the 6"-7" mark.

8 inch for a male, but it's going to take over 5 years

I really like these fish, but haven't grown one out past 6". I had a heater fiasco about a year ago and lost some nice fish. I do believe the 8" to 9" range is realistic based on some videos I have seen.

I agree with Dan. It will take a long time to reach near max size.

Years ago, I remember Aquamojo had a huge one in his pond. Not sure the size, maybe he can chime in.
