Pair of Heros Severus but Which type

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Do you know where they came from, or were they random pickups?

I have Atabapo and Orinoco severus, and the main differences I've seen are that the Orinocos do have a lot more blue iridescence on the body, whereas the Atabapos only show it on the fins. The Orinoco also seem to have a more rounded forehead and face with smaller eyes, while the Atabapo have a more pointed, arrow-shaped face and large eyes. My Orinocos also seem to have a lot more spotting on the face and body.

These are just observations and may have nothing to do with actually identifying the two types, though.
 
They were just random pickups as 2ins tank bred young Ryan. The atabapo you described would be the same as we would describe the pair we had in the past. Large eyes and quite a long torpedo like body
