How fast do severums typically grow, and is there any difference in growth rates of the different severums like the blue, redhead, yellow/gold, and super red's severums?
I am wanting to buy two Super Red Severums (male and female) at 3.5 inches to add some color to my tank, but they will be the smallest of the fish in my 800gal tank with the next smallest fish being a pair 5-6'' synspilus and fish going up tp 12'' arrowana.
 
They grow quiet fast to begin with my super reds have grown just over a inch to 2 inches in about 6 weeks, i believe once they get to around 4 inches they slow down to about half an inch every 8 weeks ish, all depends really on water quality and how often you feed. My tank is nowere near that size though so it may be a bit quicker.
 
Got it, thanks, I will order two today..
