Bought this guy today for cheap at lfs, they had him labeled as reg green sev but just curious if he's a hybrid or SB sev.. Looks to me like he's part BP or maybe shortbody.. Thanks..

It just looks like a regular green to me.

looks SB to me

Really? If that's what SB sev's looks like, then my lfs only has SB's, because all of theirs look exactly the same as his.

It looks like it has a shorter than normal caudal peduncle.

I would agree with this. Most greens are more elongated.

I just looked at it again and caudal is definatly much shorter than my other sevs..

Female green severum aka Heros efasciatus. Most of our "green severums" Are mutts or have been bred for many years in aquariums or farms so it no sprised that they start to look a little differant. The shotness could just be genetic.
