Severum Cichlid | Growth Rate & Evolution

- Опубликовано: 12 июл 2024
- This video highlights our Severum's growth rate from about 2 inches to the 9 inches he is today. We also discuss details on growth rates and tips to make sure your fish are healthy and growing. This came from our own experience keeping severums, paired with research and discussions with other hobbyists.
Severums are one of my favorite cichlids to keep, and if you maintain good water quality, a suitable tank size and a varied diet, your severum should grow quickly!

Lost mine 2 days ago 8years old .
A stunning cichlid with a gentle nature .
I have had marine fish, Discus & community tanks & by far these are my favourite.
Beautiful setup enjoy these beautiful Severum❤.
Glad u covered Sevrums. One of my favourite fish too. Currently have 3 of them. Keep up d good work.
Had a Gold Severum for about 4-5 years. Coolest dude ever, never bothered anyone, and was always curious. Starting up my tank again and debating if I want to get another one eventually
Do ittt lol
@@CichlidBros Do you prefer Golds or Greens? Debating if I want to go the Green Severum route.
Wow. Big Red has grown so much! The little aqua colored one too. Well done video.
I love your videos. Keep up the good work.
LOVE the video! can't wait to see a video on the Tapajo's
I just got my Red golden Severum last week!!! I’m so excited to see how big he will grow!
Great video! Just picked up a green severum about 4 days ago cant wait to see him grow up
Thank you! Best of luck 👍🏻
I've been following your channel for quite a while enjoy it very much 😀
Nice video. You have taken such good care of all your fish...no wonder they look spectacular!
Thank you!
My Favorite Tank on the Tube👌🏼
Thanks, Sean!
Great content! Well done! I love Severums!
Thank you! They are the best 🤙🏼
My Severum looks just like your Big Red, and I was convinced it was a boy until today when I saw her tube down and acting like she was laying eggs on the cave...so Atticus is now Adalind. lol I just love severums! Your 180 is my favorite tank. Great video!
Severums can be tricky with that! Good names though 👍🏻
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this video. I never get tired of watching it. I wish I had a 180 instead of a 125.
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 🤣
great video love seeing him grow i have 2 of these red spot severums but mone are only tiny
Love your videos and particularly this one. We just got a gold sevrum so perfect for us!
Awesome, glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
Love severums and love your videos too. Ty
Thank you - glad you’re enjoying them!
Beautiful tank and severums 👍
Thank you!
Yes I would love to see all your fish growing up 😊 they are so beautiful
Thank you!
I have a green emerald and gold severum. Plus i just ordered a red shoulder severum. I love the fish brotha!!
I just got a baby gold severum for my 75 gal. Looking forward to watching him grow!
Awesome fish. ☀️👍🐟😊
Awesome video fish looking amazing
Thank you!
I have 5 severums that live with several types of gymnogeophagus species and they all sand sift too.
Beautiful!!!!!
Thanks!
Very Beautiful Severum
Thank you!
I got a red spotted severum when they were first introduced, almost 15 or so years ago. I must say back then the were much more red with way more red spots. This looked like the gold severum I used to have.
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
Just got my 2 juvy severum!! They’re wonderful
The best!
Im big fan of severum cichlid 😍 thanks for this video bro
They’re a great cichlid for sure. Thanks for watching!
@@CichlidBros nice shape, nice personality too 👌
I love ❤ 😍 your channel ur fish are always so cute and healthy 💗
Thank you, appreciate that!
Geophagus Tapajos video please, thanks for the video. really enjoyed
Just got my first sevreum today lovely fish I normally just keep African cichlids but I'm starting another tank with south America
Awesome! You won't be disappointed!
I just bought one today for a 55 gallon with 2 Co vict cichlids they get along great also 9 buenos aires tetras and 1 rubberlip pleco
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..
Please do a similar Growth Rate & Evolution video on your Geophagus Red Head Tapajos.
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.
Agreed. I’d recommend sand with their setups
5/28/23 Do you have an eagle system cake and how about live plants? I hear they all pull up the plants and eat them is that true thank you
@@suehaynie4876 glue your plants to rocks and they won’t root then up. Rocks can be Buried or visible. They will nibble too but not too much. I would use hardier plants looks annubis, but that’s just my preference
I have 8 of them,my favorite fish😊
Awesome!
nice
Evolution goes against the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Nice channel btw 😎
Please do the geos and Acaras growth rate too
Is that pool sand in your 180? Also, how much did you use? I’m getting ready to set up a 210 and would like to do something similar. Yours looks great!
It’s Carib sea sunset gold sand (link in description). I used 170 pounds of sand
What types of fresh vegetables do you feed your severum? I thought I saw spinach but not sure.
I just bought 3 baby redspotted severum yesterday, they look exactly like yours when it was a baby. Im so curious to see if they will end up more red or yellow. Are there any factors that influence the colour or is it purely genetic?
Look like a tender well behaved fish (with humans) i would love to keep in the future
👍👍👍👍!
Thanks for the video. I am in a small home and just bought a used 50-gallon corner tank. It came with a green severum, who is about 6 inches long. I don't have room for a larger tank. Would it be better to find him a home where he will have a bigger tank to live in?
I think one severum could do just fine in the 50 gallon tank. Might be better than the stress of moving him. Good luck and thanks for watching!
I have had a gold sevrum over 5 years old with two foot long plecos. The sevrum has a growth over the left eye. Is there any remedy or diagnosis you know of?
Interesting video. Beautiful fish. More useful to us if you ere to name, at 3 months old… at 7 months old…” etc, instead of 7 months ago, etc.
Thanks! Didn't know how old he was exactly when I got him small
Здравствуйте!
Вопрос во время нереста
Северум красноточечный икра не держится на камне а скатывается с него
I am new to aquariums with a 55 gallon tank. I currently have five Blood Parrot Cichlids, four Tiger Barbs, and two Kissing Gouramis. Is it OK to add one (or more) Severum Cichlid to my 55 gallon tank?
nice mix of tank, what substrate is that black and white
Thanks! It’s Carib sea African cichlid mix
What brand and color of sand did you use? Thanks
Can i add peacock bras and gourami along with severum,oscar ?
Hi i have a 5 inches severum, just bought it couple days ago, but till now it wont eat anything, any advice for me please
The fish are beautiful and the cichlid bro is hot!
I feed once per day my 4 red spot severums hikari vibra bites and tropical pro defence also once per week bloodworms and once per week frozen deshelled peas..is this ok? Also how much pallets i can calculate to give to my 4 red spot severums pls..to not to give much??i do waterchange once per week at 50% they are in an 86 us gallon tank..also on sunday no food..wait your helpful reply thanks alot and well done very beutiful severum!!
Do you think I can keep these severums with some neon tetras maybe like a cheap mans discuss tank I have 4 of them but they're so peaceful?
Is there a way to tell male and female i have a very small one I want to add another, By color or shape fins, And how can you tell the same on a blood parrot ?
I got 2 gold severum 3 weeks ago, 1" each. Was not golden or yellow rather light cream color . As they are growing they're fading the color, now they're 2" long and very pale in color . But they both are developing bands, 7 in number each , very faint in color but as they are growing Banda getting more prominent. Idk what kind of severum I've got . Are they really gold severum?
Are you guys going to update on the Nano? I’ve been patiently waiting as I’m wanting to start my own but I’m so on the fence
Should be one of our next videos!
Cichlid Bros awesome!! Thank you!
He's beautiful
Thanks!
My 1 severum in the tank is about 8" in size. He's in a 120-gallon community tank and has been fine for 3 years with his tank mates. He's starting to get aggressive and nipping everyone. Would it be cruel to separate him on his own into a 75 gallon?
I've got a few Rotkeil Severums in a 600 litre tank. Is it possible to sex them before their adult colours come though? Someone told me they can be vent-checked at 4-5 cm long?
Thanks
My next tank will be Severums.
👍🏻👍🏻
Spot on! Pun intended
Have you found a good way to keep plants with Severums? I used to have Severums in another tank, but they ate all my plants. I'm setting up another 100 gallon tank and want to have plants with Severums. Just curious if you have found success having both.
Hornwort floats and pretty easy to care for
These guys get huge, in my opinion. Great cichlids tho.
They get big yeah but not huge not like Oscar’s
Question if you don’t mind answering: I have a new, cycled tank that I’m trying to make a South American tank. I currently have 2 electric blue Acaras in there that I actually just picked up. They’re doing great. I want to add a severum but my ph is between 7-7.5. Research tells me severums shouldn’t be kept in anything over 6.5. Is there anyway I can lower the pH without hurting my Acaras ?
I would actually recommend keeping parameters consistent rather than chasing different levels. I’ve kept my South Americans with the high PH and hardness in my area without issue. Definitely helps if the fish are tank raised and used to the water params
@@CichlidBros I was actually hoping you were going to say this, thank you for taking time to answering me !
How many severums can i put in a 4ft aquarium please?
Whats the name of that white substrate in your tank ?
Big Red is Beautiful Beautiful 😍
Thank you!
Did he ever get sick when he was little ? My severum is like 2 or 3 months old I think, and he has grown in my house, been having him for about 2 weeks and I love him but I am so afraid of losing him, I see his guilt moving more than normal and opens and closes his mouth as if he was asfixiating, and also, not eating for the past 2 days. Please someone help me
Oh topic.. what can of sand is that? I love it!
Thanks! It’s Carib sea sunset gold sand (link in description if you need it)
The black and white sand right?
Where can I order them online?
Oh, the black and white sand is African Cichlid mix from Carib sea. I’ve ordered off of Amazon in the past
They grow fast - like chocolate Cichlids!
Is it possible to have live plants with these guys? I see mixed opinions on this on the internet?
Mine have been plant destroyers lol. They eat everything including anubias/java fern/etc. Some say they don't eat plants, but I've never had that luck
@@CichlidBros damm! Why do they have ro be so awesome and destroyers!
Thanks Cichlid bros!
Our fish floats vertical and sideways sometimes. Is this normal?
question , .. I have what I think is a female Golden Severum in a 50 gallon tank , she seems happy and I have had her for about 3 years now ,she is about 5 inches ..? is this normal for a female ?
electric blue acara is beautiful
Thanks, agreed!
my ph on tap is around 6.8 to 7, but in my 125 with large drift wood and pool filter sand, large severums and silver dollars, the ph is around 7.8
how can i safely lower it, or should i, i want them healthy, and want a couple more....
I would recommend keeping it consistently. Mine have thrived in ph around 8
Hi i have a sevrum also.how do i know.? Mal or vemale
What kind of sand you are using in this thank?
Carib sea sunset gold. Link in description 👍🏻
Why golden severum or red spot more circle than green severum
I really wanna do a oscar and a severum. Would this be okay in a 75 gal? Just 1 of each, maybe a small group of raphael catfish (3-4)? Any issues? Or am i better to just get 2 oscars?
It should work. 75 is a bit small for a full grown Oscar, so only having one should help
@@CichlidBros thank you! Big red is stunning! My local has longfin oscars in🙂. Going to pick one up next week, along with a few raph cats, and my own big red,"cheeto"
Do an oscar video bro!
I can’t make out the name of the pellets, what are they?
I currently use Xtreme pellets and krill flakes. Seem like quality foods
What fish food do you guys use??
Usually a mix of Xtreme pellets/flakes and some frozen foods occasionally
Cichlid Bros Any good pellets formula from xtreme that goldfish might enjoy??
Are there any plants I can keep with my gold Severum? He seems to be eating them all 😮
Not many will last with them. Pothos is one that could go outside of the aquarium
@@CichlidBros funny you say that , I have a Pothos growing out of it . Thanks for responding back.
Who is this severum golden or red spotted?
What substrate is that?
Carib Sea Sand Substrate: amzn.to/37p2Kzf
Mine don't like veg. I have 2 green 2 red and 2 red shoulder babies. Can't wait till hes bigger
I got a red spotted and he hasn’t grown an inch in over a year.
好吃
Of course it’s a Chinese dude
As someone who has kept quite a few beware keeping too many red or gold severums as they usually have weaker genes.
Omg I didn't know sevrum grow to a foot
Yeah they get pretty big!
is a 29 gallon tank too small for a severum
Yes
@CichlidBros would a 40 gallon be small aswell?
What fish food u given.. severum fish
Xtreme pellets and flakes, occasional frozen foods
👀
I've got a red shoulder as well, I love the color on these ! Check mine out on my channel.
please add Turkish subtitles🙏
Mine are growing super slow
