they top out at 9 in right?

[psyfalcon]

Usually a little smaller. 7 inches would be "big" with anything bigger being pretty old and gigantic.

How did you get such an intense red coloration on their bellies?

[psyfalcon]

Thats fairly normal. There are a few different strains, but this is the typical aquarium strain, they are attempting to breed, so that does increase color a bit

Lastly, the green plants and background seem to help!

They r cool, What is the size of ur fishes?

[psyfalcon]

Male: 5-5.5 inches

Female: 4in

[gmoney243243]

females are more colorfull and have the red patch on the bellies. if u own just 1salvini get a female they look better unlike most cichlids which the males are usually more colorfull
