red severum

[driftwood]

Do the line-bred reds stay any smaller than others? Just curious. I know some of these tank bred color variant fish can be smaller... Like EBJD.

I don't think they are smaller. Mine is becoming quite hefty lately and he doesn't really play nice either. I had him in a 90 gallon with a Rotkeil and a Notatus when the fish were younger but to seperate all 3 over the last few months. My Red was definetly the most aggressive of the 3 and he's now housed with my Multispinosa in the original 90 gallon tank while the others are in different tanks. I was hoping to have a tank with a couple different severums but it just didn't work out.

If the base color is whitish, it's not a red severum. It's just a gold. Golds get red lines and have a red anal fin.

My super red male is the biggest severum I own. It's 10 or 11" and extremely chunky. He's awesome.

Ryan post some pics of that fish. Mine is about 7 inches and one of my most colorful fish and he's awesome too.

Mine was sold to me as a "red streaked", but I think is a true red. This is a pic when I first got him, now his fins and belly are getting darker (more filled) and he has a turquoise stripe running along the top of his dorsal developing.

My severums grew from 2"-7" in about 6 months maybe 8 months and they continue to grow. My red severum however grows slower he's only 4-5"

Very Nice, Ryan! Gary supposedly has some of these growing out. Did he get any of his from you? One of my allotted stock spaces is being reserved for a Red Severum.
