Green Severum Cichlid Care Info

Aquarium Green Severum cichlid care starts with aquarium size. Severum cichlids can grow to be fairly large so it’s important to give them a large enough aquarium. A tank size of 55 gallons minimum should be adequate enough. These fish are from South America and also need heated water. The Amazon river is somewhere between 75 to 79°F. That’s right around what we need your aquarium water to be. When buying an aquarium heater you should plan on eating 5 watts of energy for every 1 gallon of aquarium water. The Green Severum grows to around 5-9 inches in length. Because of their size your aquarium is going to need adequate amounts of filtration. I would advise getting yourself a high-quality hang on the back filter. Or if you’re looking to get a little more serious you could get a canister filter. When figuring out what fish to keep with the green severum Cichlid you should keep them was similar mannered fish. Other fish from South America like the green severum are a perfect decision. Just make sure the fish you keep with them aren’t too small because they will feed on smaller fish.
