SALVINI

[killerfish]

anybody hows had one or knows something about them please tell me pics are great i know that thay have awsome colors but i don't know much about them how aggressive what thay eat and if one could go in a 125 with tankmates

They are highly aggressive and can usually over power larger tank mates, especially when breeding. You could set up a 125 for them, but you would have to restrict tankmates to larger fish and dithers.

My first Salvini was killed by my female Jag (about the same size)
I have another ones now, in a big community with FM, longimanus, cons, a JD, a Choccy, and everything is fine!
The Longimanus male is top dog, and keeps everyone in line! No nipped fins, nothing!
As always it also depends on the temperament of that particular fish!

Here's mine...

They can handle themselves pretty well. I had a 5" female salvini that would take on my 10" trimac. The only fish she would back down from was my 12" Male JD.
