The severum from the Amazon is a tall, disc-shaped cichlid sometimes sold as a beginner's alternative to discus. It grows substantial, so what it mainly needs is height and length in the tank.
For its size it is surprisingly calm, but it strips soft plants bare and likes to rearrange the decor to its own taste. Choose tough, hard-leaved plant species or artificial plants, and pick tankmates that do not fit in its mouth.
Add this species to your inhabitants, with count and photos, and see the care info next to your own water values, target bands and reminders. Free, no account, everything on your own device.
