I recently upgraded from my 75.. The initial plan was a 125 because there were tons of nice used 125 setups available online locally... I decided to be patient and waited about 2-3 months longer until I finally found a perfect 180.gallon setup. So happy I waited I know I would have regretted pulling the trigger on a 125. Now I just wish I had room for a 8 ft tank 🤣

I agree his isn't marked up that well. My RedSS "Sid" is MUCH more red with a very dark orange under color. I believe mine and what yoyr talking about is referred to as a super red spotted severum. Either way all severums are great! Such a cool beautiful fish to keep. I can feed Sid from my hand but he's super timid and shy if my wife or boys are around the tank so he definitely recognizes me lol

By far my favorite fish of all the ones I've owned over the years. They aren't flashy at all, but they are super laid back and have a great temperament (but will defend themselves). They do sift through the substrate, so stick with pea size gravel or smaller. If you have varying sizes of substrate, they will eventually suck one in, and not be able to spit it back out... ultimately killing them (happened twice to me). They recognize faces and will eat out of your hand.

Hi everyone... I have a breeding pair of Green Severums that are in a 750 litre tank. They are about 8 inch, the female is slightly smaller.. There are 2 full grown Clown Loaches, a few tetras, 5 Bronze Cory's, a grumpy old Kribensis which was the father of lots of baby's. I took all 30 Kribensis out because they are sneaky and smashed the baby severums. The tank is pretty peaceful now and the Severums are wonderful parents. I have Amazon sword as the plants. They don't get eaten. Thanks for the video..
