will a Managuense be ok with 2 gold severums 2 geophagus? or will the Managuense pick on all of them?
 
It will kill the Geo and make the lives of the Sev. completely miserable.
 
Depends on size of the managuense. I have one 3" with 2-6,4" oscars, 3" jewel, 4" green severum, 2.5" jack dempsey. As of right now pecking order would be...
Oscars
Severum
Managuense
Jewel
JD

I'm sure that this will change as they get larger but as of right now my severum owns my managuense. They all stay away from the oscars though.
 
Odds are good that it would not work out, but on the other hand my managuense never picked on fish that were smaller than him. It depends alot on the temperment of the individual fish, anything can be possible but if you try it and it doesnt work be prepared to make changes.
 
oh yes be prepared to change

i have two 6-7inch oscars and then brought brutis at 2inches,, he was happy as larry for 1.5yrs grouping around with the oscars, then one day 1.6yrs of happiness turned sour, now the jag hates anything what so ever, even my hand and the syphon tube
