Name: Salvini Rio Cichlid (Cichlasoma salvini)
Max Size: Up to 8 inches
Water Parameters: pH 7.0-8.0, temperature 75-82°F, hardness 8-20 dGH
Diet: Carnivorous – thrives on a diet of high-quality cichlid pellets, live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small crustaceans. Occasional vegetable matter can be beneficial.
Temperament: Semi-aggressive and territorial, especially during breeding. Can be housed with similarly sized robust fish but may show aggression toward smaller or more passive tank mates.
Tank Setup: Requires a spacious tank with plenty of caves, rocks, and driftwood for hiding spots. A sandy or fine gravel substrate is ideal. Strong filtration is necessary due to their messy eating habits.
Compatibility: Best kept with other Central or South American cichlids, larger catfish, or sturdy tank mates. Avoid small, delicate fish that may be bullied or eaten.
Behavior: Active and territorial, often displaying vivid colors when establishing dominance or during courtship. Can be aggressive but also highly intelligent and responsive to their environment.
Fun Fact: The Salvini Rio Cichlid is known for its striking yellow and blue coloration with bold black markings, which intensify during breeding, making it a visually stunning addition to cichlid aquariums.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
