Love them we have a pair of them. But I have to say yours are very nice looking. I'm hoping my colors pop out like that soon.

Wonderful fish!

[MCHRKiller]

Thanks everyone :) He has changed quite a bit since I got him and hes been a pleasure to own for sure. I recomend this species to anyone wanting a nice mid-sized american.

I'd keep one if I could find one.Great looking fish.
Any problems keeping it with a convict?

[MCHRKiller]

Thanks :) And no...no problems with the Convict. My fish have all claimed a little spot of my 100G for themselves and if another fish ventures into their *spot* they get chased away but as far as aggression thats it; not ripped fins or missing scales or anything. The Sal is surpsing me by actually being fairly easy going so far.

Great pics and a beautiful Sal at that!:22:
I hope it remains a fairly docile fish.I here they can have a fairly nasty disposition.

[fishbum]

That's funny,not that I have ever owned one,but I have heard Sals are fairly docile.

[MCHRKiller]

Ive heard both sides, Ive heard for their size they are about the most aggressive CA cichlid and then Ive heard from others theyre pretty mild manored. lol

[Northernguy]

It depends on the fish as is with most fish.I have had oscars that could live with guppys and one that would try and kill anything that got near his tank.

[MCHRKiller]

Definatly, I do agree it is individual. For instance my SO has a male firemouth that is dominating a 120G tank with an Oscar, Jack Dempsey, Kissing Gourami, and a male con. Its 1/3 the size of the O, and 1/2 the size of the Jack:22:
