hello everyone!

i just bought a new heros yesterday who cought my eyes.
it didn't look like a regular "brown severum" to me, and i got curious.
i bought two and tried to take sharp pictures, it was a quite hard :)

Last picture looks Green Severum to me............
 
Wow no clue on what type but i have Greens, Rotkeils, Red, Gold and have kept Appendiculatus and Notatus and imo, he looks like none of them :P
 
i guess i'll give it some time, heh
i also own greens, golds, red spotteds and rotkeils - but this one i've never seen before
 
The most interesting part are the facial markings. It looks nothing like a typical juvenile severum. The black spotting in the gills and along the vertical bars looks a lot like notatus, but it seems to lack the black chin stripe that all my notatus have.

My guess is that they're hybrids of some type. Keep us posted as they grow.
