what is this? I want one!

Mine all look pretty drab until a female pairs up then the colors come out but they are a stunning fish after that.

If you put a single female salvini juvenile in with your eartheaters it would probably work out fine. As she grew she'd likely claim a territory and defend it but otherwise keep to herself. I would never expect to mix a large adult specimen in with a community without repercussions though.

Salvini are great "mini tank busters" if you don't have the tank for a guapote. I'dsay their aggression levels are similar to convicts.

Cons? Doesnt sound too bad. but worth the risk of my Satanoperca... not too sure. Those are my boys! They always school and never fight. love em.

Yes it is a Salvini, and yes they are aggressive. That is a very pretty one in the picture, but most that I have seen, the colors never show like that... If you don't see the color like that before you buy her then chances are it will never reach the color in the picture.

Why risk micing them with Satanoperca? Satanoperca are such peaceful species, Salvini not so much... As others have already stated, don't mix them with eartheaters, especially a gentle group like Satanoperca.
