I recently acquired two pairs of the same size of these red sided severums.
I put them in a 300 gallon tank with a few chocolates, boucorti and smaller rotkeil severums and others.
Most of the fish were not aggressive and the tank was large.
Well one morning I wake up to find one of the red side males was dead and a pair of red sided had eggs.
Then a day later the female red side had a tiny scar on her face from fighting.
She died shortly after so I pulled out the last one and threw him in a grow out tank.
It seems to me that these wild caught fish don`t have the immune system to protect themselves after they get bite.
My tanks are very clean and I don`t have this problem with my other fish, it`s puzzling.
