severum sp 'atabapo' and friends

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Moved mine into the 60 gallon with the Guinacara, they pestered him for about 5 minutes wondering what the heck this big new fish was doing in their tank - but now they're both completely ignoring eachother, the Guinacara are displaying the exact same behavior they were before the severum was in there. :)
 
hehe
good stuff jason.
i moved the severums into a divided 40 gallon from the planted tank cuz my male rtm wasn't happy in a bare tank... and we know super heros all have super egos, so i had to cater to his royal highness first :D :D (now you really know he's not for sale...) *cough gani and sean cough cough* :D :D
severums are much more mellow than CA cichlids IME
 
Severums are an odd bunch, I've had some that are absolutely vicious and others that are completely peaceful like this one - it's really just a luck of the draw, but I think they're one of the most varied personality fish I've ever come across (I used to have a trio that would relentlessly chase eachother 24/7 in a 75 gallon tank).

Nice fish ewok. Your mota resembles the one you sold to house64. Awesome collection.

I completely disagree......:irked: Comparing apples and oranges..... very poor quality RTM you got there, I'll trade you for some quality fry if you want. :naughty:

1.) i got them from tong's for $90
2.) (got a 10% discount cuz the girl thinks i'm hawt! :D :D)

3.) (thanks, sean!) but unfortunately his lady died in transit. i had to throw her out the window last night since she was already smelling up the car...

First off...... $90! They saw you coming all the way from "South County"! Sucker.......

Secondly...... :barf:

Lastly.... Don't forget that Female RTM is only on loan. You have 7 days to produce fry, of which I get HALF..... and if you can't produce I'll come get her so fast your head will spin! I'll bring her home to a REAL MALE RTM....... just adding another lady to his "Playboy Masion".
