    Hello
    Can a pair M/F of salvini cichlids be housed in a 55 gallon tank with out seperating them for life ?

    They would be the only fish .

    Thank you

    The fish itself yes, a pair no. They are not pairing fish. You would need a male and about 3 females.

    Thank you. I assumed they were like fire mouths which pair up.

    I might than go with a 55 as more than 2 salvini in a 36 inch long tank is to crowded and I do not want death due to lack of room.

    I have seen some wild one's not far from me and just stunning but read very aggressive.

    Thanks again.
