I visited an lfs in Omaha that has several different severums. They labeled one as a "Rainbow Severum." I hate trade names. Does anyone else know which sp. would be labeled a rainbow? All were to small to sex/id.
 
could be literally anything, given my first thought was Notatus or iniridae
If they were Notatus I would buy them all. LFS said they were listed as Heros sp.
 
Went back for pictures. Whatcha ya'll think?

My vote is rotkeill, but I don’t know sevs as well as others.
Reminds me of a juvie I got in the mail (doa unfortunately). Similar pattern to green but with a bit of red showing on the gill area.

The wholesaler response to the the LFS: Herotilapia multispinosa. :ROFL:. The lfs read me the email they sent and they specifically said severum.
