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

[ryansmith83]

Oh dear. I used to be a discus/angelfish hoarder, but now that I've bought my own house and found the space, I've been bitten by the severum bug again.

I currently have:

1 male Heros sp. "super red"
2 male Heros sp. "rotkeil" wild-caught
1 male (?) Heros severus "Atabapo"
1 male Heros sp. gold (are golds a color morph of efasciatus?)
1 male Heros appendiculatus (Does this name even apply anymore to "turquoise severums"?)
1 male Heros notatus wild-caught
1 female Heros sp. (I have no idea what she is; she looks like no other severum I own)
5 juvenile Heros notatus F1

What on earth will I do with 13 severums?

The unknown female unexpectedly paired with my male turquoise and laid eggs a couple days ago. Now they are hiding wigglers in a pleco cave. I'd only had the male for two days when my female took a liking to him and now he's a dad.

I moved my Krobia sp. "Xingu" into the 55 gallon tonight with my five little notatus grow-outs and the notatus decided they didn't like tankmates. LOL. The Krobia certainly held their own, though. I think it'll calm down tomorrow when the notatus get used to the idea of sharing a space.

Sean, Peter, and everybody else seemed to be getting new fish/tanks and I felt left out. Now I have to find another cheap 150 just to house all these guys as they grow.

Pictures of the new additions as they settle in and color up...

Nice list of severums. You are almost as bad as me.

Heros appendiculatus was collasped into H. efasciatus by Kullander.

Golds were thought to be a mix of H. efasciatus and H. appendiculatus kind of like our mutt convicts are, but since H. appendiculatus was synonomized, golds could safely be called efasciatus for now.

Good to know, thank you DP. Speaking of, below is the latest to hit the 125g. Fatty...
