Calling All you Severum Fans.................

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Mmhmm, the plot thickens eh?

Their looking like a pair of notatus too... (notice the bold black marks only half way up the body on both fish, the extensive spots on the male)

After consulting some fellow Sev heads here in blighty, it seems that the notatus may infact be a regional variation of efasciatus.

CichlidGuy, have you had any luck breeding your pair? (male and female, incase you didn't already know)

There is certainly alot that needs to be hammered down with the regional variations and species of heros.

Did anyone see CelticSamuris (god rest him) Heros that Jeff Rapps had for sale. Some real stunners that Few people had ever seen before (as usual though, Jeff got the ID down as soon as he saw them ... cocky bugger :) )

Ill try and fish up the pics (as long as no one has any objections obviously)
 
Here they are (Mods, please feel free to remove, not my fish, but lets share some of these amazing fish, if thats ok)

CichlidGuy, have you had any luck breeding your pair? (male and female, incase you didn't already know)
yes ,I new they are male and female and I've had them spawn but not successfully. The female will chase off the male and then eat the eggs within a few hours of laying them. But they're still new at it so hopefully they'll get the hang of it soon enough. Notatus huh?
 
Here are a few of mine. They are nothing special right now. But they have the potential to be some real lookers down the road

Red spotted severum at about 6.5 inches

Heros Inirida juvies that are about 3.5 inches
