Hukit......how big do salvini get and how aggressive are they?

Hukit......how big do salvini get and how aggressive are they?
HUKIT said:It's funny everyone compliments on the salvini but around here they don't sell well. I have 3 young pairs that produce fry every couple of weeks but I've yet to have enough interest to remove and grow them out.
They average around 7-9" and they are highly aggressive, I would say they are in the top 10 as far as new world cichlids go.
Here is a fairly interesting read on different opinions of aggressive fish.
Cichlid madness- top 21 Most aggressive
When you say highly aggressive do you mean almost as bad as festae? Do you ever have pairs killing each other? And sorry for the stray from topic OP this is my last one and hukit if you ever want to get rid of a pair or have some stray fry that make it please send me a PM
Pretty cool read, all though I don't agree with a few, it's pretty much covered all the "bad boys" anything on that list demands respect.
Oh and what's the growth rate like on salvini's? I have a new idea brewing haha!!!
Agressive in pairs or to all fish in general?
Beautiful salvini. But the Red terrors are like I said awesome. There was a change in their scientific name, right?
This might be a stupid question, but i bought a "cichlasoma salvini" at my lfs and the 21 top list had it as a "nandopsis (sp) salvini" same fish or different?
One of 8. Love them so I put them in the Tanganyica tank.
