@@CichlidBros my first comment not banned in a month. Many thanks!

bro you way overstocked.

@@slickchick5811 lol how??? But I don't have electric blue Acara or Oscar anymore... But lmk say this... Contrary to what the Internet says... I been doing this for almost 30 years bro... U can actually raise up to 8 Oscars in a 125 as long as it's well maintained and the standard 6ft long... This new stuff people come up with on how many fish can go in a tank is ridiculous... Bro I seen irdescent sharks kept in a 125 up to 3 of them!! For 10-15 years with no issues... Always remember that the information given is always a opinion and far as size goes... Most likely your fish like Oscars or irdescent sharks or Jack Dempsey won't ever get to the size and proportions google says 😂... Those are all "wild life estimate sizes" these fish in the aquarium won't experience seasonal weather they won't experience being in large groups looking for mates and they won't experience the infinite amount of gallons they naturally have in the wild... Yeah I have seen some fish reach full size without a doubt but honestly majority of these just won't... You will be lucky to find a Oscar that is 15 inches and I guarantee you that the person either had them for 10 years or fed them nothing but live food... Because the food we feed our fish will never ever maximize the growing potential that's why it was formulated for aquarium fish... They don't eat anything close to that in the wild... Google says u can mix giant danios with Jack Dempsey... Back in the day I used to feed them to a Jack Dempsey we had... Google says the Jack Dempsey cichlids will more than likely reach 6-8 inches in captivity... I have seen them as big as full size Oscars!!! In captivity... It's honestly how you maintain the aquarium bro... And I don't fill none of my tanks with all those decorations unless it's a true tropical community of small fish then you decorate...

That would be my recommendation. Sometimes growing up together can also reduce aggression down the line

@@CichlidBros Thanks, my only concern was if 1 grew too fast and roughed up the others while they catch up. Also is there anything else that could replace the convicts that you can think of off the top of your head? Firemouths would be too small right?

That's what I do. I buy cheap babies and grown

Gummy Aquatics thanks dude!

kri ss thanks for stopping by appreciate it!

One with black spot near the gill is most probably fem

The tank size should help. Our Salvini as an adult was too aggressive for tank mates in a 75

Stonelfy Aquatics no problem! We like the auto feeder on this tank. We’re actually planning to do a product review video on the different feeders soon!

Could be ich, try keeping the temp at 90°f for a week. Good luck.

I wouldn’t recommend it

I wouldn't suggest it in a 30g, when putting Cichlids together it's a bad idea to have just 2 as one can just pick on the other. 3 is just as bad as sometimes 2 pick on one, realistically you can only have medium sized Sa/ca Cichlids together in a very large tank or species only/single fish in a smaller one but there's so many nuances that it's best to just read as much as possible. I much prefer species only tanks or single fish as their behaviour and personality isn't dictated by tankmates that have been shoved in there and you can get a super special healthy as fuck specimens alone or in very lightly stocked tanks.

Would be tough to manage aggression but a very large tank would help a lot

Good luck. Need a big ass tank

A few of my local fish stores typically have them. Could also order online if you can’t find any

Cichlid Bros cool I can’t really fit one but cool

Each cichlid has their own personality, for sure. Mine was so aggressive that I had to rehome her. She would lay eggs every month and go wild. Beautiful fish though

Giant danios

Yep, definitely

@@CichlidBros thank you so much.

Agreed! They’re both awesome fish 👍🏻

HR-Vex in a lot of ways! Definitely with the aggression at times

@@CichlidBros yup, facial features with a pointy snout and black markings the side. I'm actually looking for a baby one to grow. Are they hardy?

@@SonyEnthusiast Our Salvini has been. With your standard maintenance and water changes, they should do just fine. They're usually the fish in the tank creating problems for others with the aggression

@@CichlidBros ok good to hear. As for aggression, I love aggressive fish and plan to keep only one in my tank and have some dither fish. I will relocate my female Convict because I know she will beat my new Salvini

I would say average compared to other Central Americans

@@CichlidBros thanks for your response. And just after seeing your salvini, today I also have added one salvini in my tank. It's looking gorgeous 😍

Agreed!

Very nice, good luck!

Sometimes it can be done. They’re aggressive though, so very likely would pick on mbuna or smaller Africans

My experience the American cichlids need to be bigger than the African cichlids but not too much bigger. Also most African cichlids need a more plant based diet. Central American cichlids are very timid until they're about 3"

It's a female. She's already laid eggs many times. Best indicators for Salvinis are the dark spot on the gill cover and the red belly that females get
