Heros sp. "Iniridae" "Super Severum" ????
- Thread starter sinaster99

I investigated this a couple months ago. They look like a tourquoise severum from the Inirida River in Columbia.
They're just a location variant what I believe is the mouthbrooding severum. The owner just decided to call them "super." I used to work there... They actually breed them in-house and the parents are stunners.
IMO they look like notatus or turquoise severums. They show the same yellow/orange chin and breast with black spots that H. notatus display. I doubt they are mouthbrooders, though.
I honestly don't remember. I do remember the parents were really nice. I stopped working there a while ago. You could just call the store and ask... Ask for Anthony.
here are two picture of heros sp. iniradae from my tank:

this seems to be a med (5") wild caught male. As far as I know this is a Heros Sverus coming from iniradae river in Columbia. the unique part is the red dots strips it has and red lips. supposed also to get blue head once grown up.
It does seem to be mouthbrooders, like Heros Sverus. from the last and only shipment that arrived here there is one couple that has already breed
^ The fish in your picture is a severus-type, which would mean it's a mouthbrooder, but the ones listed in the auction that were mentioned in the first post do not look anything like this. They look more like efasciatus or notatus. Here is a link for those that are curious.
