Firemouth or Severum?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Severum are nice docile fish.. and you wouldn't have troble from one of these guys...

as for firemouth.. they look nice.. but sometimes are aggressive..
 
firemouths have more striking colors, and are a little quieter
severums are inquisitive and beautiful
and i would just get 1 severum, i had 2 and one was dominant and quickly got bigger than the other 1 and i think it died of stress, but good thing is i still have the dominant one and i love him
 
I had a firemouth with a severum and the sev was the boss of the firemouth.
 
Get both. FMs and severums and silver dollars and plecos all go great together. Get one FM and one severum. 90 is plenty of space.
 
I think I'm going to get the one sev, and maybe add one or two more red hooks. I think with that stock the tank will have plenty of activity. I think I may have located a red shoulder I think the guy said they are? I'd love to have a super red, though.
 
Darn! The rotkeil's were gone by the time I got there yesterday. I'm going to get one when he gets his new stock next week.
 
Very hard decision, they both are great fish.

Personally in that 90 gallon, I would do 1 of each.
:D

Make sure the Severum is clear of ich before you buy one.
