Hi guys,
I’ve had a golden Severum for about 6 months now, he’s about 6-7inches and I’m thinking of getting him some tank mates. I already have a galaxy pleco in with him. He’s in a 200l tank for now but plan to upgrade to at least 300l at some point.
My thoughts were to get a pair of angel fish or a blue acara.
He’s quite a shy fish and I feel these could go well with him,
What are your thoughts?
 
I’m not sure how it would do with the Angel, as they are similar shapes and could possibly cause some problems. I’d expect no problems with the Acara as I’ve had Sevs with green terrors, dempseys, tetras, pictus cats, cories and swords. The only aggression issues have been between Severums.
 
Another thought I had was to add a pair of keyhole cichlids with my severum? As they stay relatively small and a group could curb any being singled out if my severum became more assertive than he is now (total wimp :) )
Thoughts on this or other combinations?
