Nice looking fish, now pet peeve, This is why I hate common names. They are NOT Heros severum, so you guys calling them Sevs is incorrect, they are a nice pair of Heros "Rotkiel", an undiscribed species of HEROS.

O.K.:confused: I'm not gonna question you on this(I'm sure you know more about them then I do) but I do know the "I" before "E" rule does not apply to "Rotkeil". Also there are about a billion references to these being "Redheaded Severums" on the internet. I just call them rotkeils, sound good?
 
I imagine more of a pet peeve should be that the 'Severum' in the trade are Heros efasciatus anyway, not Severus. As far as I'm concerned, everything in the 'Heros' genus that is available is a "Severum".

Severus != Severum also. Severum could basically just be classed as nickname/alias for the genus Heros.
 
they are stunning already ..and all the fish will compliment each other very well..
 
nice looking fish
