traded my 5.5" male rotkeil for this 4.5" one a little while ago. Still recovering but seems to be showing some potential.

Awesome pics. They have very nice colors.

That's easy - get more :). Ask Jamie how many you should get :naughty:
The most I could pull off is one more, and that would be pushing it to the extreme when they get older... Japanese style monster fish keeping in a 3'x18" tank. :grinno:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA my digital should be back soon...(dont ever buy a kodak) ill take pics of my severum city i have going on...

well i have a 75G a 150g and 47G with baby red fire grow outs....i think im up to about 20.....:screwy: lol not only that but my babies only eat black worms and spectrum thera....spoiled brats.

my large male (francewa) i tried to add the same female he laid eggs with last time and she didnt even last a hour before she looked near death so i took her out..he almost took out her eyeball and ripped her fins up bad and ate some scales off...shes doing much beter now...shes deff going to be fine... but thats the craziness of severums... i have a 150 with tons of sevs and they dont fight at all...but they were all mostly rasied together since very small...the big male is in the 75 alone and i dont think he was every in a tank with other severums..he does well with plecos and catfish and african clawed frogs....other sevs he wants blood...crazy.
 
I keep BPs / Veija / Myan currently, but have kept Texas / Jack Demps / Green Terror / Blue Acara / Almost every Vieja / several Paratheraps / Convicts / Red Devil / Midas. They are pretty easy going if you start them all out together. I have yet to find a fish besides another Sev that they wont live with (due to the Sev aggresion), i have had several larger SA/CA that did not like them though, and they make an easy target for a large bully.

what other species (if any) do you guys keep as severum tankmates....?
BGK, and Macrognathus aral. The Severum seems to actually like the eel, and will stay by his side when he's not hiding. The BGK still confuses the heck out of the sev.
 
i have cories,plecos,silver dollars,syndo cat,RTC,ornate poly,retro poly,albino poly,polleni,geo,and african clawed frogs.theres a certain severum i think i might add to my ray tank with the discus im getting for it.
