Cool, I recently picked up a salvini, knowing how to look after one fine, but not bothering to find out how to sex them since I didn't plan on breeding it. Turns out, according to what you folks are saying, she's a girl.
 
aquanaut- that fish is 5 years old? she looks amazing, great job!

southcentral- congrats on your new salvini, they are great fish. lots of color

Had to sell most of the fish... a couple years ago... got a new one though.
 
SO WHICH IS IT? MALE OR FEMALE? AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! LOL
 
my baby, apparently female...



She's currently in a 75G with some JDs and a nic, and a few other odds and ends. They're all still quite small, under 5 inches or so. She's the smallest but looks after herself well.
 
She's doing alright for herself. Looks a bit stressed in the photo (her top black stripes are sort of faded) but the photo was snapped not long after introducing her to the tank. She was in a mixed cichlid show tank at a store about 50 miles away. I saw her and said I had to have her. The clerk tried to sell me a tiny one from a different tank, but I explained that she'll have a few tankmates her size, the little guy wouldn't work out. He gave in and sold it to me for a good price.
