Hi all,

From my trip to the Phillippines, I also hand carried back a breeding of Red Head Severums. These dudes are wild caught specimens from Peru. Still unseen in Sgp's aquatic trade.

Not too sure is it common in the US?

I will try to breed them and hope they spawn good....

I've certainly never seen such severums till now. They look good. Are they a separate specie or just a subspecie of a current severum specie?

They are certainly the seperate specie...they are very rare and only wild caught specimens are in occassional ornamental trade..
