Salvini Cichlid was a mean fish. So mean that she had to go away for 60 days for kicking every fish's ass in the 75G tank. Now, she's back and there have been some changes... the fish are a little bigger and there's a much bigger tank - for her to rule?

  • beautiful colours on you fish! very well done! not everyone has the gift to make happy healthy fish! your a true hobby-ist!

  • @rosepedal911 Thanks. That's a great compliment. :)

  • salvini kicks ass

  • @aqairist1 She takes no crap especially now that she and the JD have teamed up.

  • wouldnt that be a male salvini? males have pointed/longer dorsal fins just like all other SA cichlids. Female have rounded/shorter dorsal fins and they get red patches on body and anal fin. nice fish :) i might grab me a JD if my Buttis stop being so aggressive. Do they all get that nice blue color to them? the ones at my LFS has nasty colored ones....

  • @dinhy34 As mentioned it is a female as she regularly lays eggs. The points on cichlid fins are a very unreliable way to sex these fish.

    Generally JD's look dull in the shops and will much more colorful at home if given the proper environment and diet. A companion will also get the JD to show better colors as well. However, genetics/breeding plays a huge role. The Salvini is this JD's companion now. Their eggs seem to be infertile, however.

  • nice tank please check mine out and subscribe

  • two male salvinis disliked this

  • yea true. the reason y i asked is cuz my salvini looks about the same size and looks really awesome, has amazing colors and everything. my jack however, is the same size as my salvini and looks really good, but has alot more black stripes to his body than the one in this vid n that must be because the one in this video is about a good couple inches bigger im assuming. i kno jacks loose the stripes as they get bigger so i cant wait for mine to show more color n less black stripes

  • @7ItalianStallion tough to say. the salv has gotta be 5 anyways, i'd think. the JD looks slightly bigger. keep in mind thats a good size tank.

  • @hartboy22 how big do u think the salvini and jd are? they look about 4 inches in my opinion

  • @7ItalianStallion krib=kribensis cichlid.
