[CubanB]

i just got this 18cm green severum about 2 weeks ago. i've never owned 1 before and don't know much about them. it was sold to me as a male!!

there crap photos but you can see how many eggs she's laid. looks like 300 +

Easy fish to sex, should have done your research first. Still, looks like a nice female, very similiar to my old one actually.

i really had never intended on getting it i pretty much got it given too me. turns out they can hold their own against oscars and don't back down from pikes, both bigger than it. i wouldn't mind getting a male but i know that just wouldn't work well...

nah theres no other sev's in there so they won't get fertilised

well they didn't last very long!! gone overnight

has anyone ever kept a breeding pair of sevs in a community tank?

if so how was there aggression towards tank mates?

Severums are more peaceful cichlids but when they have fry they can be almost as aggressive as convicts and they will probably protect their fry eggs and nest.
