Severum

(Heros Severus)

Picture
These large cichlids are not really suited to a community aquarium and should be kept in a large aquarium with a few other large cichlid species. Young severums may be gray with black stripes but as they mature, the stripes fade to leave a fully grey to yellow fish. Males may have longer dorsal fins than females and not all pairs may be compatible. They need plenty of hiding places in the aquarium and they prefer large rocks and pieces of driftwood.

  Max Size: 20cm Temperature: 23-25ºc Ease of Keeping: Moderate Temperament: Territorial Compatibility: Moderate Plant Friendly: Yes
