Severum ID please

[lukenewton]

hey guys, I just picked up 4 small severums around the 2-3" mark off of an online ad. they were advertised as rokteil severum or heros efascitus. as I understand there are many sub species so was just wondering if anyone can ID mine. any help is welcome.
Thanks
Luke

8 bars is going to be sp. Inirida or rotkiel. My guess is the former

Rotkiel because Inirida has more of a rounded face and Rotkiels are generally more pointier.

Cheers, when do they start to colour up?

Mine were already fully colored when I picked them up at about the 3.5" mark. Yours may just need to get acclaimated and feel secure to start showing their colors
