Wingin' It Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Salvini are aggressive...especially when they're in breeding mode. Can't say I suggest any fish to go with them when they're full grown, though i'm sure there are some that i'm not thinking of at the moment.

Jayba Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Not like I know much about big cichlids. But match them up with someone equally as mean. Someone who will push back and not get walked on. They like most creatures need to know where the line is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremoose Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Sorry about the late response but I have had no trouble with my Salvini. I have 3 Salvini (one very large male) that live happily with Convicts, Dempseys, a Firemouth, a Green Terror. All of them are in a 150g.
