The psittacus are doing great Sean. They have all staked out there different little territories and all eat like pigs.

I'll be expecting my atabapo juvies at the fall auction Peter!

Quick question do severums coexist well with one another in a small tank setting (under 100G)?

 

[peathenster]

well how many individuals...how big are they....and how big is the tank....

 

[Casper2000]

Not my tank, but its 90G. My friend wanted to get 2 around 3-4"

Is the severum in your avatar just a normal green or some new variant?

That's plenty of room for 2. Would be really nice to have a pair.

I think people usually call it Heros sp. "Atabapo". Personally I think it's Heros severus from Rio Atabapo.

Do normal 'greens' have that brown colour too? In australia there isn't a snowballs chance in hell we can get variants of severums wild caught.

I'm sure some H. efasciatus would have similar base color and the red lines...

Why is it so hard to get wild SA fish there - laws or shipping?
