Enjoyed the video and seeing such fabulous severums ; I have five 8 inch severums ( 4 golden and 1 green) which spawn regularly and their colours are a match for discus anyday. I have been going to Pier ever since it first opened, their selection of fish is jaw dropping. Hope your health is still improving and I send my warmest wishes- take care 👍👍
Great video. I have recently got my first sevs... A curare and what I think is an appendiculatus, and also got mine from Pier. Would love to see some footage of these fish to be able to get a better view of what mine will grow in to - particularly the appendiculatus, as the curare is quite clear in this video.
I’ve never really been into Severums mate , I like the predator fish like jags , Red Devil’s, red terrors and green terrors which I keep at the moment , but I must admit that the colours on those sevurums are beautiful. 👍
I seen u with that RedSox’s hat and I was like he needs to take that off and put on a NY Yankees hat 🤣🤣 The tank is amazing 💯💯✊🏽✊🏽 Great to see you back buddy 👍🏽
Just stumbled across your channel and loved the video! Severum are my favorite fish. I have several. I’ve heard them called the “Poor man’s Cichlid”... I call the the “Smart man’s cichlid”! 😂. Keep up these great videos
Your friend has great taste. I’m upgrading to a 210g and considering mixing my 27 clowns with my 4 severums. I want more severums but I just want 1 of each. Heh. Love the vid ty so much for sharing !
Just found your channel and am really enjoying it! I do have a question about your friend's tank: why no substrate? Don't the loaches (as well as the bacteria) prefer it? Anyway, good work and thanks from Oregon!
Thank you very much Don I appreciate that, yes I am not a fan of a no substrate tank but Dave always kept his fish like this he didn't seem to have any issues with it to be fair
Excellent video again mate. We are so lucky to have pier around the corner. I was invited to a group in Mexico once as they wanted to see our fish. We have better fish than they can get hold off. Its crazy. Your looking better as well which is good to see
No point anyway yet mate. My big tanks slowly shutting down. Going to decorate the front room and then get something epic built so watch this space lol
Amazing looking severums there buddy! Around 7:51 you mentioned some of them tend to be smaller did you say Rotkeil? Am interested for a 200l tank. Awesome vid.
I got four severuns two in two separate aquriums. The red shoulder is barely growing while the green, turquoise and yellow are growing fine. Are red shoulder slower growers. The red shoulder is very shy.
My experience with Sevs.. severums are all talk and not much bite. Deffinetly not wussies, they will challenge others despite obviously losing for the 100th time. Deffinetly wanted to live a solitary life and was generally shy loving curious and quite the tank decorator
Nice video mate not natural enough for me well as natural looking as you can get in a glass box (ie tiled bottom no veggitation ect)but the sevs do look sunning keep them coming 👍
Yeah i do understand why its done that way tho big fish big mess easy maintenance id just have to put live plants and subtrate in i couldn't help myself lol
My adult pair of gold,green and liberifer all had live plants in and was spawning theres videos on my youtube channel of the liberifer and young with live plants can be done just depends on how its setup and the individual fish none of mine ever touched plants where my angels loved to rip them up
Nice fish. I just personally don't dig the mixing of fish from different continents i.e. the clowns in there. Could have geos in there taking their place instead(with sand of course).
I had in mind a mix like 2x red spot gold, red shoulder and a few other rare ones when I can get hold of them like 6-8 in total I had in mind with odd bottom dweller
@@bigfishlad4847 right now I have a green severum, electric blue acara, blood parrot, firemouth, 12 colombian tetra, 3 pictus catfish, and a dwarf cuckoo catfish, how much more do you think I could add? I have a fluval fx4 and 207 for filtration
Can someone help me, my pair keeps eating their fry and I found out it's only the mother doing it, so I Separate them the male is with the fry, so my question is will the male take care of the eggs by his self or will I have to put the eggs in a tank by their selves
They say it's 'grim up north' but if you have shops like Pier aquatics then I think they're lying haha, I've never seen red tiger severums for sale where I am so I think it's 1-0 to you!
I just picked up my first 2 Severums yesterday. I can’t wait to watch them grow and color up. Love the videos, cheers from the states!
Such a stunning fish you will enjoy that and thanks bud
Best video my friend keep it up severams are looking great ❤️👍

Excellent video again mate. We are so lucky to have pier around the corner. I was invited to a group in Mexico once as they wanted to see our fish. We have better fish than they can get hold off. Its crazy. Your looking better as well which is good to see
Cheer mate and cheers for the footage just a shame I can't come and do a full fish room tour at yours lol
No point anyway yet mate. My big tanks slowly shutting down. Going to decorate the front room and then get something epic built so watch this space lol
@@americancichlidbreedersinc6491 yes true i will just wait for the indoor pond lol
May not be happening yet. Think we are staying here for a while. Will get something good tho
Right we will continue this on message lol
Your severums are epic indeed mate. I have a yellow and a green. That red shoulder is gorgeous. Are they crossbreeding? Cheers!
Hi this isn't my tank it's was a tank that my friend had and yes absolutely stunning thank you
Amazing looking severums there buddy! Around 7:51 you mentioned some of them tend to be smaller did you say Rotkeil? Am interested for a 200l tank. Awesome vid.
Hi yes the Rotkiel doesn't grow as big mate cheers for watching thanks
@@bigfishlad4847 Thanks a lot for the quick response mate, my hearing isn't always the best so that's very helpful. Cheers!
In the process of converting my 240 into a sev dominant tank and these look like some of the best I've ever seen!
Honestly mate we are very lucky that we have a shop over here that can bring in the most stunning wild caught sevs going
Paul let me know when you’re ready for a Tang tour mate!
Hey mate I would have a Frontosa species profile from you anytime my friend
The colors on the severum are insane!
Arnt they just mate and they are all for sale in my local fish shop now Dave gave up fishkeeping for a break
You have nothing to apologize for Paul I like the fact that you enjoy American sports, do you have a Detroit tigers baseball cap?
I havent bud my next one will be lol
I got four severuns two in two separate aquriums. The red shoulder is barely growing while the green, turquoise and yellow are growing fine. Are red shoulder slower growers. The red shoulder is very shy.
I believe the Red Shoulders are a slower grower than the others
I have a standard 120 gallon tank. Would it be big enough for severums
Yes bud you get a good group in a 125 👍
My experience with Sevs..
severums are all talk and not much bite. Deffinetly not wussies, they will challenge others despite obviously losing for the 100th time. Deffinetly wanted to live a solitary life and was generally shy loving curious and quite the tank decorator
My two cichlid severum in my tank and my family .. i hope can health and beautifull
Very nice and thanks for watching
Nice video mate not natural enough for me well as natural looking as you can get in a glass box (ie tiled bottom no veggitation ect)but the sevs do look sunning keep them coming 👍
Cheers bud yes very much the opposite of what you do lol but yes the Sevs are unreal and cheers bud 🤜
Yeah i do understand why its done that way tho big fish big mess easy maintenance id just have to put live plants and subtrate in i couldn't help myself lol
Good luck with sevs that size and plants 😂
My adult pair of gold,green and liberifer all had live plants in and was spawning theres videos on my youtube channel of the liberifer and young with live plants can be done just depends on how its setup and the individual fish none of mine ever touched plants where my angels loved to rip them up
That big female even destroys plastic lol
Never had severums... Now i want them
Haha yes such a stunning fish to have 👍
Hi where can I get these severums?what’s the name of the shop?
Thanks
Hi its called Pier Aquatics based in Wigan Greater Manchester 👍
@@bigfishlad4847
Okay thanks
What is the silver red and black fish? It is stunning
Sorry didn't see this it is a Flag Tail
The fish are stunning. But the tank? It's just 4 chunks of wood in a plain glass aquarium.
Those fish are stunning.
I don't think you don't need to apologize for wearing Baseball caps?
Thank you and yes no I don't lol its just a bit of banter I get a bit of stick lol
Is the really giant one with the light blue face a red shoulder severum?
Its a Red Tiger Sev but they are also called Curare Sevs
I have red shoulder severum that I’m growing out I love my severums
Stunning fish I love the Sev and the Red shoulder are beauties
You should also have a severum tank.
I had a 7ft one a about 3 years ago but changed to the Centrals lol
Amazing tank 👌🏻
Thank you buddy
Nice fish. I just personally don't dig the mixing of fish from different continents i.e. the clowns in there. Could have geos in there taking their place instead(with sand of course).
Yes it is a real talking point that species only tanks against mixed i suppose every one to there own lol cheers for watching mate
@@bigfishlad4847 yepp, to each their own. I'll keep watching as long as you put out content (:
@@MarkDrisch cheers bud its very much appreciated 👍
In ur opinion how many would you have in a 350 litre corner tank?
Depends on which Sevs I reckon because the Rotkiel only get to about 8 inches where as the Red Tigers get to about 11 inches
I had in mind a mix like 2x red spot gold, red shoulder and a few other rare ones when I can get hold of them like 6-8 in total I had in mind with odd bottom dweller
@@hatrcarnage6596 fully grown i would say 6 is more like it but you would have to experiment and see
On 3.53 what is that severum called please?
Oh I don't know I did this video a long time ago and I can't watch it back lol can't click on my own videos
Please tell me how you would stock a 125 gallon severum community tank
Not sure to be fair I would probably do it with Sevs as the main fish and maybe some other South American Fish too
@@bigfishlad4847 right now I have a green severum, electric blue acara, blood parrot, firemouth, 12 colombian tetra, 3 pictus catfish, and a dwarf cuckoo catfish, how much more do you think I could add? I have a fluval fx4 and 207 for filtration
Sounds good mate great filtration as well depends what you want to add really but sounds nicely stocked already
Can someone help me, my pair keeps eating their fry and I found out it's only the mother doing it, so I Separate them the male is with the fry, so my question is will the male take care of the eggs by his self or will I have to put the eggs in a tank by their selves
Its a crowded place for poor severum's 💔
Its not bud the tank is a huge cube it's epic they are great fish keepers too
Dont apologize for wearing a cap! You can be a fan of the sport not necessarily a particular team!
Haha was a long time ago i did this video kept getting stick for wearing different teams lol still where different ones now cheers mate
Any concerns about diseases from wild caught fish?
They get really well quaranteed by the right shops so it's important that we get them from the right places
@@bigfishlad4847 i pla on buying from Wet Spot on the west coast
What size air pump for your head?
Just a joke. Great video Guido
Not sure what you mean bud
@@bigfishlad4847 I don’t either lol. I think I commented on the wrong video.
Poor, poor fish in this fish-soup 😢
What's that sorry don't understand what you mean
what specific severum are these
There were so many different ones in there from Curare, Liberifer, Inirida, Rotkiel, Appendiculatus
They say it's 'grim up north' but if you have shops like Pier aquatics then I think they're lying haha, I've never seen red tiger severums for sale where I am so I think it's 1-0 to you!
Haha we win yes Pier is an unbelievable shop mate
die Becken hinter dich sind Juwel und Eheim ?

Do you want a job as my agent 🤣

How many severum in 90 gallon?
