Details
This attractive cichlid is silvery-gold with black, horizontal, blotchy patches on the dorsal half, and a black stripe from the eye to the tail. Females develop red on their bellies, especially when mating, and males have iridescent blue-green spots particularly on the dorsal half.
Other semi-aggressive cichlids make good tankmates, though this fish can become extremely aggressive when spawning. Use discretion when choosing tankmates if housing a pair of salvini.
Feed them a variety of foods such as a hearty cichlid flake or pellet, as well as fresh vegetables.
Tank decor can be basic rock or driftwood with plenty of hiding places and open swimming areas.
Salvini are substrate spawners, and prefer a fine substrate.
