Mostly Severum tank ideas

[beerad555]

I am starting up a 55 gal grow out tank and I am thinking about going with mostly different types of severums, Would this work or would there be aggression problems in the long run or anything else posing issues with this idea? Thanks Im planning on Merging tanks with my existing stock in the future when they are large enough , possibly a 180 gal or larger.

As only for grow outs that are small possibly, you will definitely need the 180 in the future.

As for aggression there all ways will be a pecking order among them, even if there different .

I guess male and female assortment will also play into this, Wish you could sex them early on.

It should work fine, assuming you get a large enough tank. Also what is your current stock? That would be my real concern, not so much severum with more severums.

Currently in my 125 gal I have a gold severum, Jack Dempsey, starphire, frantosa, and bumblebee catfish,all about 8 to 9 inches in size.

I would like some ideas on what other fish would house nicely with severums?
