severum

I was sold a turquoise severum yesterday, but the more I look at him, the less he looks like a severum. The body seems too long and there seems to be no stripped bands at all. It was the last one among a mix of golden and turquoise severums so that is a possibility as well. If this is not a...

Hi Everyone, I'll start by saying the I've only used the forum once before so apologies if this is in the wrong place.Admins please feel free to move it. Last year I asked everyone for advice on picking a personable/interactive wet pet that could live comfortably in a 3ft tank ( Interactive wet...

My turquoise Severum has a bad case hexamita and I need a step by step set of directions to treat him. At the moment I have a hospital tank already cycled. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Looking for a pair or young group. Any size considered, PayPal ready to go. Shipping to WA state/98604 There are many available locally but I will not touch those so please avoid local recommendations. Will be quarantined thoroughly but must be in top health when shipped nevertheless. Google...

I believe this is a severum. Any idea what kind? His face shape is differwnt than other severums I see.

I've got a 120 gallon. I have a bichir who's the absolute must in the tank. I had a severum and a blood parrot and three tinfoil barbs. The severum kept wanting to swim with the blood parrot, but the blood parrot didn't really seem interested. At the fish store they didn't have severums, plus I...

I am fairly new to keeping big fish. I tried oscars but they wouldn't stop fighting. Got an ornate bichir that I think is awesome. Wanted some tank mates for him. So for my 120 gallon I've got the ornate, three tinfoil barbs, one blood parrot, and one severum. How close do you think I am on...

Hello all. My red severum (full adult - about 8-10 inches) is very sluggish, sitting on the bottom and gasping. It has these white areas behind the eye. Other fishes seem ok. It is a blood parrot/severum tank. I think this fish is probably gone, but I would liek to know what this is. Is it a...

I want yalls advice on something I’ve been considering all week. I’ll try to make this short and to the point. In my 50 gallon tank, I have 2 4”ish severums by themselves. They have attempted to lay eggs, but are never successful. They have been alone for about a month and previously were with...

So i picked this green severum up at a lfs for 20 bucks he's looking ROUGH! They told me a couple from Columbus dropped him off for store credit, so the excuse of why he so rough looking is because of the 2-hour Drive in a bucket, and I beleave the poor water quality of course at its original...

I've had these three sevs since they were babies in a 60 gallon. Two of them seemed to pair off. They did the twitching, rubbing on each other, lip locking and scooting the sand to find some flat hard surface to lay eggs (is that how they spawn on flat rocks?). Since they started doing that...

A few weeks ago I re-installed my 530L SA cichlid community tank, and actually had to pour all fish into an uncycled tank with no filter (the cross-bar had broken and the fish were evacuated to a much smaller tank; then the pump was leaking after drying out, but putting the fish back was still...

I have a male green severum and a female gold spotted, they are alone in a 55gal and have been a mating pair since the first day they were in the tank. They have laid eggs twice now and have eaten them. Since they are alone in the tank I am not sure why they keep doing that. I first thought...

I had a chocolate cichlid with a pair of blood parrots, green Severum, and one electric blue acara in a 75 gallon. Everything was okay until the parrot cichlids started laying eggs and became very aggressive towards the chocolate cichlid which is at the bottom of the food chain in my tank. It...

Hello everyone, I've been wanting monster fish for quite some time and am finally taking the plunge and getting a "big" tank. Up until this point my biggest tank is a planted 75 gallon angelfish tank so I have no experience with big fish. I've wanted an Oscar since I was 10 and have finally...

I Just bought a new Silver Arowana about 6", its with a beautiful little Red Spotted Severum about 3" and an Electric Blue Jack Dempsey about 3". The severum and jack are eating hikari gold baby pellets (floating) and hikari gold mini wafers. The arrow don't want anything top do with them, he...
