Product Description

The Red Spotted Severum (Heros appendiculatus), also known as the Green Severum or the Golden Severum, is a captivating and colorful cichlid species that is popular among aquarists. With its vibrant red spots and peaceful nature, the Red Spotted Severum adds beauty and charm to any aquarium.

Appearance:

Red Spots: The most distinguishing feature of the Red Spotted Severum is its vivid red spots scattered across its body, which contrast beautifully with its green or golden base color.
Body Shape: The Severum has a tall and oval-shaped body, giving it an elegant and graceful appearance.

Water Conditions:

Temperature: Maintain a stable water temperature between 75°F and 82°F (24°C to 28°C) for the well-being of Red Spotted Severums.
pH Level: Aim for a slightly acidic to neutral pH level between 6.5 and 7.5 to replicate their optimal living conditions.
Water Hardness: Provide moderately soft to moderately hard water with a hardness level between 5 and 15 dGH.

Tank Setup:

Tank Size: Due to their adult size, Red Spotted Severums require a spacious tank of at least 75 gallons (284 liters) to comfortably accommodate their active nature and swimming behavior.
Decorations: Provide plenty of hiding spots with rocks, driftwood, and live plants to mimic their natural habitat and make them feel secure.

Feeding Habit:

Omnivorous Diet: Red Spotted Severums are omnivores and enjoy a varied diet.
High-Quality Pellets and Flakes: Offer high-quality cichlid pellets or flakes as their primary diet.
Supplementary Foods: Supplement their diet with occasional treats of live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, or daphnia for added nutrition.

Behavior:

Peaceful with Caution: While Red Spotted Severums are generally peaceful, they may show aggression towards smaller fish, especially in a smaller tank or during breeding.

Care:

Tank Mates: Choose tank mates that can handle the Red Spotted Severum's size and are also peaceful in nature. Avoid keeping them with aggressive or territorial fish.
Compatibility: Red Spotted Severums can be kept in pairs or as a single specimen, depending on the tank size and temperament of the individuals.
