Red Spotted Severum

The Red Spotted Severum, a captivating color variant of the Heros efasciatus cichlid, is a stunning freshwater fish native to the Amazon River basin. These 2.5" juveniles are a fantastic starting point for any dedicated aquarist, allowing you to watch them grow into a true showstopper. Their bodies are typically a beautiful golden or tan color, adorned with an increasing number of brilliant red or orange spots that intensify as the fish matures.

The Severum is known for its relatively peaceful temperament, especially compared to other cichlids. While they may display some territorial behavior, particularly during breeding, they are a great choice for a large community tank with other similarly sized, non-aggressive fish. Their calm demeanor and striking beauty make them a captivating and rewarding addition to any aquarium.
