Currently he’s been living with this pleco since day 1 -

Today was moving fish out of QT and consolidating grow outs had Severums everywhere - sturdy dither and i got 50

passed the one day mark -

i’ve got medium to high hopes for future co hab partners ?‍

I’m thinking they may just be too small to be considered food at this point.
I hope it works out!

That sounds like my leporinus, the only victim he ate was the crayfish. Characins...
Sorry to hear about the severum?

Endlers are probably the best bet, at that size he would waste energy trying to catch them.

Try some ghost shrimp

 

[dr exum]

doubled down on the sevs - surprisingly not lost one since he killed the initial one.... going to take them to lfs here soon...

took out the pleco -he was all up on the aimaras slime coat ?

moving on - going to have to break down this tank and move it soon -

How big is the wolf and the tank at this point?

 

[Backfromthedead]

I think the wolf will most likely kill a severum whenever it becomes bored and wishes to kill something. Probably one at a time over a period of a few months. They're easy prey especially when the lights go out.
