The most beautiful exotic Severum

[greenerinks]

Has anyone ever come across this stunning sp of severums? I'm importer still has a few of these severums left in stock. They are WC and going for hefty 200+ usd for a 1-5-2" specimen. They are absolutely gorgeous when coloration starts to become mature.

Nice!! ryansmith83 sorry, somehow found its way to me; hope you don't mind. It's a gorgeous fish, please share your experience with this specimen at your leisure. I have attached the actual 2" fish that is available. The second to last vertical bar that only reaches half way up the body is the telltale sign of this sp. correct?

I have an entire thread on them here:

https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/...re-potentially-the-real-heros-severus.609922/

These fish have been formally described as Heros severus now.

The young fish in the picture could be severus but it could also be sp. Inirida which is a spotted fish that has 8 or sometimes 8.5 bars. It’s hard to know for sure until they get larger and the red begins to show.
