A spectacular wild variant of Severum found in the Amazon near Leticia, Colombia, these Green Severum display a striking pattern of vertical bars on a vivid green/gold base. As wild fish from warm, acidic waters, they will display their best colors in a similar setup with soft, low-pH water. Generally peaceful towards similar sized tankmates, they can be aggressive towards each other and should be kept singly or in a large group of 5 or more fish (they will get along with most other Heros species as long as the group is large enough).
