Severum tankmates?

[convict94]

I have been wanting something more out of my fish lately, instead of having a shy/pretty fish like my geo, i want one that is more of a personable fish...something that will greet me when i walk in the room, like an oscar, but i only have a 55 so im trying to stay away from oscars...i just want a fish that will be compatable with my severum because he is not shy at all but my geo beats up on him so i just want the calmer/personable fish...any suggestions?

You could try archocentrus centrarchus, the flier cichlid. My pair is very active and swimming about. They have a beautiful blue/green color when adults. Ithink males max out at 8-9 inches.

i have 2 angels with my 2 severums (among other fish). pretty run of the mill, but all 4 of them are immediately front and center whever i near the tank, so that's pretty cool.

Blood Parrot or Fire mouth supposedly ok with Sevs.

Blue acara maybe?

Blue acara and rainbow cichlids (heterospilus mutispinosa) have been excellent companions to my 2 sevs. They're very peaceful but colorful and interactive, but I have found the rainbows to be more outgoing than the acara. This could be due to the rainbows being kept as a pair and the acara a single specimen.
