Gold Severum Cichlid
Remarks: Severums (Heros efasciatus) have been a mainstay in the aquarium hobby for decades. They grow large enough to act as centerpieces, but they are not tank-busters, and they come in a variety of color patterns. Gold Severums are a golden yellow color, and many exhibit orange striations on the face and cheeks when they mature. They are typically peaceful, though aggression will surface if pairs form.Scientific Name: Heros efasciatusCommon Name: Gold SeverumMax Size: 8"pH: 6.0-7.5Hardness: SoftTemperature: 70-84°Aggressiveness: Semi-AggressiveRegion of Origin: South AmericaCaptive Bred or Wild: Captive BredDiet: Flake or pellet, frozen and live foodCompatibility: Medium schooling fish, similarly sized South American cichlids, catfish, plecos
