if you're in Florida, you should be able to find one in an LFS; I have bought them at least 2x from ones near me, and my favorite LFS had about six of 'em just last week . . .
where are you located?
oh, and a pair should be fine in a 36"/58G tank, tho' I'd feel better with a 48"/55G tank (length more important than total volume) . . . the males can be pretty rough, so be sure the female has places to hide . . .

One more thing...
The people who run Marine warehouse are quite ignorant when it comes to freshwater species. They often have fish mislabled or not labled at all. So they very well could have salvini and not know it. You could call and ask them if they have salvini in stock but I would not trust their word, it would be best if you went in and checked in person.

These are a very common fish. If all else fails try Wal Mart. I've seen them there on several occations. You should have no problem finding some.
