SEVERUMS?

[windex780mg]

I'M GETTING A "BIG" TANK IN THE NEAR FUTURE, STOP LAUGHING! ANYWAY I'M THINKING 180G MAYBE 210G CUZ THE LFS HAS IT... AND THE BIGGER THE BETTER...? FIRST I THOUGHT I WANTED TIN FOIL BARBS AS THE MAIN FISH BUT THEN I STARTED LOOKING AT SEVERUMS!! THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL, THEY GET KINDA "BIG", AND THEY'RE CICHLIDS!! MY QUESTION IS WHAT WOULD GO GOOD WITH AS MANY SEVERUMS AS I COULD HAVE IN THERE OR SHOULD I LIMIT THE NUMBER OF SEVERUMS AND GO WITH A SMALLER NUMBER OF "PREMIUM SEVERUMS" WITH WHAT? i LIKE CALM FISH THAT TAKE THEIR TIME AND LOOK GOOD AND GET "BIG".ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Severums may not be the calm fish you're after, many of them are quite aggressive. The Green in my avatar is a glassbanger.

Uaru, Chocolate Cichlids and any medium sized (~6") CA/SA Cichlids make good tank mates.

I have 7 Severums in a 180 with 1 Uaru and a baby blood parrot. I'm going to have to take 2 or 3 of the Severums out as they are getting to big for the tank and each other, a little territorial.
