Green Severum

[DawnMichele]

From the checking I did it seems that a 55 in the smallest a single can live in. Just as it grows will have to up the water changes as they increase thier waste production.

I do 50% water changes every week and have 2 filters. I did look at the Blue Acaras and they are pretty.

Thanks for looking it up. I appreciate it Sean.

I had a pair of them but lost them to a heater running out of control. The tank was at 90deg+ when I found it.
This is them, just a inch long

What a shame. They are were so pretty. IM going to think about everything before I rush into anything. LOL. I really like the Severum so much!!! I will figure it out. Thanks again Sean for everything. I will keep you posted.

This is the tank I am starting with.

Found it on Offer Up for $400. Tank has never been used. The stand is way over built with marine grade oak plywood and real oak trim. It's soaking a piece of driftwood that will be in it atm. The tank should be up and running early August

That's beautiful. What size is it?

 

[Jexnell]

Standard 125gal long 6ftx18inx20in

Yup never been used, brand new with glass lids, two three foot long T8 lights.

They were going to use it but moved to a smaller place and no room, so my gain.

Great deal!!! I can't wait to see your fish in it. IM thinking of keeping the Severum & getting some dither fish and see how that goes. IM also thinking about just doing a hardscape tank like the picture I showed from ADG which would give him more room.

That sounds like a great plan. I look forward to seeing it when it all comes together.

I am going with Platinum Jack Dempsey's. Start with 6 or so at 2inches. Let them grow and pair off themselves. Keep the pair I like and give away the others to local MFK members I hope.

Was twisted between Red swordtails for a dramatic color difference from the JDs or Pineapple for a more "natural" look.

For bottom feeder I am thinking Albino Marble Hopolo cats.
