I have been keeping and breeding severums for 4 years. I've seen it all. That is an oddly patterned green Severum. Sweet find!
What sort of severum is this?

I'd say hybrid/oddball "green". Doesn't look like any of the true species to me, but still looks cool!
Guys, I don't own it yet. I tend to like to know what I am buying first... lol. Notatus looks more like a green with brown spots and an inridiae like this:

I have 2 greens, 2 rokteils, a notatus, and a gold, and that one is like a combination of all of them.
It's an efasciatus with a light body pattern. It could also be a hybrid of efasciatus and something else but the red lines in the face and body are usually an efasciatus thing.
Notatus and sp. Inirida would have spots instead of striations, as well as the black cheek stripe along the bottom of the gill. Inirida and rotkeil (if pure) will only have 8 bars whereas this fish has 9. If it weren't showing such a dramatic barring pattern it'd have a light green/yellow base, which isn't too uncommon in the various tank-bred efasciatus types.

No such thing as a hybrid severum. 2 different species, i.e. a notatus and a rotkeil, will only produce a half and half mix of both species, i.e. half notatus half rotkeil
Hi Ryan! Thanks for helping out again. With the last sp. inridiae I was a bit unlucky as the owner raised the price 4 fold vs what his employee suggested (by mistake according to them...). This fish is in the same shop again. But they are a bit clueless, as they were convinced the inridiae was a rotkeil... And I was like, you got a pair of redshoulders there and these ones are just purely cheap 'green' sevs! well.... That did not convince him at all... Oh well 😳😳😳

Go on fishbase.org and look up the genus Heros. Then google "punnet square".
