Rated #250: Freshwater Fish - Heros Serverus - Green Severum Stocking In 400 Gallons Tank

Rated #250: Freshwater Fish - Heros Serverus - Green Severum Stocking In 400 Gallons Tank - Green Severum
Name: "Sevvy"
Size: 10"

Really silly fish, they hide up and ponce around all the time. They do headstands and like to bite hairs of your arms when you clean em out.

He lives with guppies, platies, swordtails, "Roger" (ram), neons, etc.
Bearing in mind some of his tankmates are smaller than his eye, he has never eaten any of them (except by accident if they happen to be attached to a bloodworm).

However one issue, he absolutely HATES keyhole cichlids and will shred them if given half the chance. 
Even holding a photo of one up against the tank sets him off. Got no idea why.
These fish really are very, very silly.

About Yourself: Used to breed koi when i was a kid
Fish Kept: Various south american cichlids (dempsey, texas, brasiliensis, a few firemouths, cons) Mbuna & Hemichromis variants Aequidens Bala sharks, black sharks, clown loach, other botia, ancistrus, pictus, synodontis, a dozen corys, danios and even a shoal of platies :) A mad mixture of fish, but there's plenty of room and tank is stable and peaceful except at feed time. Other (6ft) tank has guppies, platies, swordtails, corys, rams and a big ol' severum who's just celebrated his 8th birthday
Corals/Plants: Cryptocorynes, swords, anubias, vallus, canadian pondweed, water lettuce, dwarf water lillies. For the bigger hericthys, fake plants are better although they don't like to eat java moss.
Tank Size: 400 gallons
Advice: Start gradually. Dont over crowd Dont over feed Big tanks are easier to manage. Dont skimp on decor as it reduces aggression between species and reduces stress on scaredy fish coz they can hide up. Many plants are very sensitive to water chemistry, persevere to find the right type. And buy decent filters and heating systems
