could a gold severum hang?

[sstromerson]

I have a male jack dempsey a female festae and a common pleco all about 4-6" at my local lfs there is this 4-5" gold severum I'm interested in. I was wondering if he would do alright. Right now there is no fighting in my tank. They chase after each other sometimes but if I put a mirror on the side of the tank they just fight with their reflections and don't care about anyone else.

tank size?

Depending on tank size... I have 4 sevs with a pair of festae and others but i have a 300 gal

 

[sstromerson]

Oh sorry its a 90g

 

[sstromerson]

would the 90g be too small for those three? because I was also thinking about a firemouth or salvini if those would be more compatible

I wouldn't do a sev with a festae in that size tank. Maybe in much larger tanks there's enough space for everyone, but festae's can be really nasty fish. IMO a firemouth or salvini would be a much better choice.

Had sevs with slow growing grammodes in 75g. Sevs did not take any noise from the grammies. Two grams paired and bred - had to pull the other grams but the sevs were perfect tankmates. All depends.
