what's that fish name at 0:14?

[volvoguy76]

@rohitc46 That's a New Guinea rainbow. Interesting fish. Had a few of them a while back, the one in the video was the last of that herd.

why is the choco all alone?

[volvoguy76]

@Mhzer0 He was being treated for velvet disease at the time. He's 2 and a half years older now (and 6-7" long!), and lives in a 125 gallon tank with lots of friends.

How long did it take for your severum to be full size? I got a 2" one a couple weeks ago, his face markings are starting to show! :)

[volvoguy76]

@ledzeppelinsucks Our guys are still growing even at three years of age.... but I think ours hit 6" by 18 months. They really slow down after the first year.

@greenfiend42000 i only have the 1 severum at the minute but i can see me buying a couple more its just my tank is getting a bit over crowded cos every thing is juevenile at the minute but once they are fully grown i will have no room haha i think a 400 gallon is in order .

[greenfiend42000]

@b4mb4m100 wow you should get a few more severum's and breed them because im breeding my turquoise severum's and they are slowly becoming semi rare fish to find . the turquoise are harder to find than gold severum's because they are only seasonal and barley any lfs have them. even online they are expensive . 16.99 for a 1.5 inch turquoise severum .

[b4mb4m100]

@greenfiend42000 yes my tank is around 200 gallon with good filtaration so hope fully will get a good size !

[greenfiend42000]

@b4mb4m100 as long as you have a tank as big as or bigger then 45 gallons you can probibly get away with 3 of them . i have excellent filtration so i have 4 turqious severum's and there all 4 years old .they lived there entire life in a 46 gallon bowfront tank

[b4mb4m100]

i hope my severums get like that they are very nice . i should be putting another video of my tank tonight of all my juvenile cichlids should check it out ( 700ltr cichlid tank )
