Wild Severum ~3"
The Wild Severum, also known as the Green Severum or Banded Cichlid, is a beautiful and popular freshwater fish species that originates from the rivers and streams of South America. It belongs to the Cichlidae family and is known for its vibrant coloration, unique body shape, and peaceful temperament. In the wild, Wild Severums can grow up to 10 inches (25 cm) in length, but in captivity, they usually reach a size of around 6-8 inches (15-20 cm). They have an elongated oval-shaped body with a slightly arched dorsal fin and a pointed anal fin. Their coloration is predominantly green with vertical bands on their sides, and they have bright red eyes that make them stand out in any aquarium.
Wild Severums are generally peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive fish of similar size. However, they can become territorial during breeding periods, so it is important to provide them with ample hiding places and adequate space to establish their territories. Overall, Wild Severums make an excellent addition to any community aquarium due to their unique appearance and peaceful nature.
