[Oscar98]

Those are awesome! I want to breed either grammodes or salvinis. Prob salvini. Where did you get your salvinis they look great!

 

[HUKIT]

Where did you get your salvinis they look great!

A member of ACA who sell's fish from Rusty Wessel. Salvini are easy to spawn as they will mature quickly and breed around 2 inches, the only issue is the male can be extremely rough even potentially killing the female when he's ready to spawn again and she's not.

Ok thanks! I like my salvini he chases the convict around lmao. Which is fine with me because the con almost killed his female

Are you sure it's a male?

 

[Oscar98]

Yes look at the photo I posted, the female is on the right with black blotch on the dorsal fin, generally more of a red stomach, plus she has the black dot on the operculum.

Cichlasoma Festae still young but getting there.

 

[garfy]

Cichlasoma Salvini

 

[Oscar98]

Here you go hukit.

 

[HUKIT]

Here you go hukit.

Looks like a male but the dorsal fin is folded so it's hard to see. The black blotch in females is a 100% positive way to sex them.

 

[Oscar98]

Ill get a better pic later or tom so i dont stress it too much

 

[Oscar98]

Its a female. I just saw the black blotch on the dorsal fin.

 

[msumpter87]
