    For me its a hard pick but severums Will always be my favourite

    I've had both. Discus may be bright and stunning BUT severums win hands down for personality and presence in the tank. The maintenance of discus take much of their grandeur away due to the constant upkeep needed to keep them happy. My severum thrives with no special treatment just normal maintenance levels. When people ask about discus I caution them, when people ask about severums I encourage them.

    I’m watching because I recently added Severums in my formerly Discus-only 3-year 600 gallon tank. I got bored with Discus. They are always on the corner of a monster tank. I am loving the personality of Severums right now.

    I prefer Severums, because they have more interesting behaviour than discus. I have kept both species and my vote goes to Severums

    Having kept both severums are definitely my favorite. Even though discus are beautiful personality wins hands down. 😉

    I have the Stendker Discus from Discus Hans. They are bred in Germany to be more hardy to harder water conditions and higher ph. My ph runs around 8.2 and they are doing very well I have had them for a year and could not be happier. I have never kept Severums but would love to some day. Love all of your videos and info! Thank you for all you do for us fish junkies 🐟🐠🐡

    Love all the videos so much info. I myself have 2 severums a red spot gold and a green both have amazing personality. Ive thought about discus but just dont have the room for that big of an aquarium. My 2 are in different tanks and are the centerpiece fish in the tank. Thanks for the great videos. Your by far the best. God bless you all.

    They look lovely. There's a lot of light in that tank, very sparkly. Good work.

    Love the Fish Factory footage! I'll have to check it out some time when I'm in town. A few months ago I walked through Best Fish downtown and it was really neat! Didn't look like much on the outside but they had 3x as much as my LFS.

    Thank you for the video. Very interesting and informative as always.

    Both! For the reasons you listed. I do think discus get a few points extra for looks. I have always been drawn to them for their beautiful bold color spectrum. Happy Monday!!

    I live in Florida and have had access to tons of discus over the years. I can even go over the Jack's if I want his discus. I pick the sevrum. Everything you said is right and you can't beat what you get. If you really think it out you will be glad you picked my choice.

    Have several discus in my planted community 120 and keep it at 82, love them. They’re not nearly as fragile as people make them out to be

  • @photojames160

    I have several large severance 8 to 10 inches in a 125 aquarium. I also have Java moss growing in the aquarium and they seem to leave it alone for the most part they do take an occasional snack, but it does seem to stick around. As far as discus if their tank raised, they can tolerate a higher pH. It’s only when they come from the wild that you really need to be aware to have your water more on the acidic side. Thank you for your video. I appreciate the information!
