Super Red Spot Severum
The Red Vein Severum, also known as the Super Red Spot or Volcano Severum, is a selectively bred color form from the wild-type Green Severum (Heros efasciatus), which are widespread throughout much of South America’s main Amazonian channel in densely rooted, slow moving river waters. A relatively hardy and popular species, hobbyists should take into account the large adult size and somewhat long lifespan [approximately 10 years] of a Red vein severum before considering one for their aquarium. For its large size however, Red vein severum are a relatively non-aggressive cichlid so long as a pair is not breeding, or it is not kept with small fishes that can become a meal.
