Green severum and green terror

Описание: The #GreenSeverum is very popular as its one of the most peaceful, larger #cichlids in the hobby and generally don't bother their tank mates. Green #Severum are native to lakes and tributaries of the #Amazon Basin in South America.

Though not the true mouthbrooding "Severum" species (Heros Severus), Green Severums are very attractive and grow larger than their mouth brooding relatives; not to mention their remarkable breeding colors of intensely bright orange-red on their bellies, anal fins, and pelvic fins in addition to their bright red eyes and beautiful green bodies with faint vertical bands.

Males have extended anal, dorsal, and pelvic fins as well as worm-like markings on their faces and operculum. There are two distinct color morphs of the species that have identical needs and feeding habits, Green and Gold. Due to their popularity and successful breeding, the Green Severum is always available local
retailers and online vendors.

This feature is a significant hump or protrusion on their forehead that female fishes don't possess. The males of this species are much larger, but the females are a more aggressive fish. Females tend to get aggressive, especially when they are in the spawning season, but other than this they are fairly tempered.
