My Salvini is starting to gain territory. How big will it get and how dominate should I expect it to get with breeding J. Dempseys in a 75 gal tank.
Salvini?

i duno bout your jack but mines a puss mine gets bossed aroung by a polleni thats 2 or 3 inchs shorter then it
in my experience, large salvinis would whip most dempseys of the same size. they can be pretty tough customers.
Right now my male Dempsey is the most dominate fish in the tank and when he challenges the salvini he usually wins the showdown, but the Salvini will make a quick cheapshot dart towards the Jack when the Jack swims off. I had another Salvini that used to do this to the big male Midas I used to have. Long story short, the midas killed the Salvini.
id say one salvini v. one JD, no contest, salvini hands down but with a pair of JDs i dont know outcome doesnt look good. but yeah salvinis are mean buggers! i love'm!!!
Salvini is a bigger fish than a JD, that's all there is to it. Same temperament, but bigger size and oftentimes WAY bigger teeth. I've seen some salvini with teeth so big they couldn't close their mouths.
A typical JD pair would still beat down a lone salvini, though.
