Senegals

Could a 2" Senegal and a 3" severum do good in a 3*12*18 for 2 yrs ? They'll get upgraded in 2 yrs time . How about 2 Sens?

Kept and tried 2 species of Cichlid with my group of Senegal. A male African Peacock Cichlid for about 2 yrs until the Cichlid became territorial with the Senegals. Kept that male Firemouth that's my Avatar for around 3 yrs but he became territorial as well.
You can give the Severum a go while it's young and hopefully things go well.

Will the tanksize suffice the Sens for 2yrs?

Yes

I’d be more concerned about the sev outgrowing the tank than a sen.

The aquarium is a 55gal. It will depend on the Severum temperament. Like I stated you could try it but can't guarantee it will work out.

Is that 3 inch by 12 inch by 18 inch? Or feet or?
Or is that 30 by 12?

Cause...3 inch would be too small already.

He means 3ft by 12 inch by 18 inch.

I don’t know much about Severums, but I know senegals can live lifelong in that 55g

I would not keep a Sen in a 12" wide tank, 18" minimum IMO. They are busy busy busy fish and appreciate the cruising space.
