The Salvini I got is a male and has good markings and coloring on fins with a great tourquois shimmer but completely lacks any yellow. hes about 4.5" and I was wondering if adding a female would cause better coloring?
Also I see salvini refered to as Nandopsis salvini and Cichlasoma salvini. Is there a difference? Thanks
Most new world cichlids in breeding dress are amazing looking so adding a female would help, not necessarily all the time though. Plus they're going to play hell on anyone else in the tank, my pair beat the daylights out of a female Festae four times their size. I would still attempt it but just have a back up plan. The biggest enjoyment for me personally is successfully breeding aggressive fish.
Cichlasoma is the current genus and Nandopsis is the old, same fish.
