I've never had any. I'm debating stock for my 180. There are some gorgeous Sev colors. but I don't want a bunch of ditzy headed fish. Lol.
 
Mine are very responsive they follow me and watch w.e I do, they are fun.

I have had a sev now for about eight months and it is not as owner responsive as my hoga or pearsei but comes up front during feeding time. I will walk into the room and find it staring at the back of the tank for no reason..... none of the other fish do that. But it does get along with everyone and never starts anything so at this time its a keeper, even if it is not so 'smart'.
 
I had a red severum always made me smile with all the stupid stuff he would do.and always followed me as I went by the tank.It was cool . If I had a 180 I would do severum geos and potamotarygon ray s. That's just me but good luck with ur choices

I'd say they are pretty smart for cichlids .... almost as smart as most vieja-type species, but usually not quite as confident. In the right tank with the right tankmates they will be very interactive with people and be up to all sorts of odd swimming tricks and funny behaviours.
