- This is a spotlight on the Severum Cichlid (Heros Efasciatus). We walk through the background on these cichlids, as well as a care guide. We touch on the different types of Severum (Red Shoulder or Rotkeil, Green, Gold, Red Spotted and Turquoise Severums.
Tank size is the primary consideration with these fish. We'd recommend a 75 gallon tank at minimum for an adult. Regarding tank mates, it would be wise to have back up plans if you're putting these with the aggressive cichlids out there (Jack Dempsey's, Green Terrors, etc.). We've had luck in our own experience, but it just something to consider!

You nailed it on the info for sure , awesome. Cant wait to see the new huge tank. I still miss my firemouth from 40 years ago,, under rated fish! You definitly nailed all the TRUE points on severums. Thank you , i enjoyed this video. ✌💞
Very useful information for anybody that is looking to keep or already has severum cichlids! Thanks for the video!
Watched TONS of your videos for my research & ended up with 4 Tapajós geos, 2 electric blue acaras & I’m waiting on my 2 Severums. Definitely the geos tank though. I fell in love with Geophagus
Thanks for your comments about my EBJD. So I decided subscribe and check out your channel. Beautiful tank set ups lean, mean and clean. I have been eyeballing a Severum Cichlid for my collection sweet fish but that Electric Blue Acara is amazing. Man!, Torn like an old sweater!
Beautiful aquatic specimens!
Because of your newest video I ended up adding a Green Severum to my Central & South tank...gotta say quickly beginning one of my favorites 👌🏼

You got a great severum there and we love severum but haven’t had em in years maybe get em again someday.... tank’s looking fantastic
Love severums, great vid!
As far as selecting suitable tank meets it's entirely depends on the behavior of that particular fish.I've seen severums get along with gouramis and tiger barbs.Same goes for the dietary needs there is a big variance between fish to fish.
