Thanks for the feedback guys, appreciate it. It's nice to read that salvini are popular, they deserve it, one of Southern Mexico's little gems!!

very nice as always Lee, what size tank is that bro?

8 x 2.5 x 4 ft wide, just over 400g i think?

Dusting off a 55g to do a Pair of these. God I love Salvini.

If you spawn them, just make sure the little lady has a get away plan. Males can be murderous to their females, even when attending to wrigglers!

Cheers,

Lee.

I've always admired your set-ups, stock and photo's and this time's no exception. Like how the current makes plants sway like that looks amazingly natural, nice job all around.

Thanks,

There's quite a bit of mid current going on in the tank. The clumps of Vallisneria are doing alright. Not too demanding light or nutrient wise and thrive in hard water setups as opposed to soft water.
