General Comment: The Green Severum, also
known as the Banded Cichlid, is a color variation of Heros severus
Severum. Severum have an iridescent sheen to their scales and off-white to
green background color. Black spots travel along the lower body, starting
behind the pectoral fin and a black band reaches across the caudal end of the
body. The Green Severum is a trusting fish, and will often accept food
directly from their owner's hand.
The Green Severum requires a 30 gallon or larger tank that is at least 40
inches long and 20 inches tall. The larger the tank the better. They prefer a
lightly-planted tank with a soft bottom and a few rooted plants. Adding a few
large rocks would be appropriate as long as there is still plenty of open room
for swimming and the water is not affected. Severum can be aggressive when
spawning, and for this reason should only be housed with other semi-aggressive
fish.
