I know only 3 Severums and wonder if there was more. The ones I know are red shoulder, green and super red. Thanks in advance
 
I know that there is the mouth brooding "True" severum.
A whole bunch of different locality versions of the same species too
 
IMO the cichlid profiles list is incomplete-- no big surprise imo. Also check out Heros notatus, Heros sp. iniridae, Heros sp. rotkeil (I'm focusing on wild types as opposed to line bred). If you do a search here you can find some nice pics and ID info (like the difference between notatus and iniridae).

Severums are actually somewhat diverse. Like some other new worlds, I suspect more work will be done on their current classifications, whether to ID some as new species or officially assign them to a current species.
