Slappy*McFish Global Moderator Staff member Feb 18, 2002 7,835 48 75 Raleigh, NC Jun 28, 2012 #7 A Salvini is another type of cichlid. http://www.google.com/search?q=salv...J4ya8gTWuL2wDQ&ved=0CFQQsAQ&biw=1920&bih=1069 It is neither good nor bad. It will just mean that it is a hybrid. Of course, I'm no way definitely saying that it is a Salvini/Convict hybrid, it just looks like it might be. It could just very well be a gold morph convict, too.
