Is this a Green Severum?

[mamapuff]

I bought a few green severums from my lfs, and this guy looks nothing like the other greens. I have a gold as well and he doesn't look like it either. Can anyone tell me what this is for sure? The first one is a blurry one of him, and the second is him chilling with his "family". Thanks in advance!

Do they normally cost more? He was in a tank with about 4 other greens and one gold. I got the greens for like $4 (1 1/2 inches) and the Gold one was $6. We kept going back to get another gold, and ended up buying all that were in the tank becuase they had no more golds, (and I am a sucker for the babies). Now, he is the size of my parrots, and the other are still about 2 inches. We have had them all for about 2 months. I can't believe he has grown so much. Is that normal? Maybe he's taking steroids and hiding it from me lol...

maybe you struck gold when you got him.. i think so..... he is awesome.. probably a male...

i once had an odd looking baby severum that was gold with green fins, he died young so never figured out exactly what he was

nice severums and parrots, hope you have a large tank for they will all grow to at least 8". The prices you paid is a good price, severums and parrots are my favorite fish.
