I got a 20cm-ish gold severum from snookie the other day ( great measurements snookie ) and we are now hooked on the idea of setting up a new tank for a few larger fish after just having small community fish for so long.

"Zak" as he is now named is very calm and not showing any signs of aggression, he has wreaked havoc on my plants though lol

What suggestions do you have on what we could put in with him, only wanted maybe 2 more similar sized fish.

We like the idea of a Green Severum too but will they be aggressive towards each other?

ANy suggestions appreciated

Chocolate Cichlid

Jaguar Cichlid.

both of the above have great personalities and are not aggresive to each other, provided they are around the same size

anything that fits in their mouths will be food.

A school of silver dollars

I used to keep Silver Dollars in with my Gold and Green Severums

Just remember they will become Territorial as they get older, My Golds did, so Territorial that one Gold chased the other Gold into a Rock and Killed it The one that died was my Favourtie

If your wanting to go Silver Dollars I wouldn't bother about Plants they will mow them down in NO Time.

Nope, I haven't found any of my severums, green or gold, to be particularly aggressive towards each other. The occasional chase, but that's it. Actually, I haven't found them to be aggressive towards anything.

Chocolate Cichlid

Jaguar Cichlid.

They both look interesting, will have to read a bit more about them and see how they stack up, Thanks Wok

Good to hear Ira, There was a gorgeous green severum in the LFS the other day, by the time we had decided what we wanted to do, went down and he was gone

Snookie is trying, in a very subtle way to sell me his lol

worth a try , :roll: i have some convict fry you could grow out

Big sharks, synos, oscars, plecs, firemouths, acaras, big angels etc are a few ive had success with with my big gold sev, she gives the odd chase but has never hurt anything i have put with her.

I agree acaras are real cool, and maybe some fire mouths?

OMG!!!!!!!

If you are able to get some Chocolate Cichlids for your tank go for it.

I saw 3 adults in a tank on the weekend and they were STUNNING!

An amazing maroon colour and great shape.

Seriously fell in love with them.

Ï can't wait to get my own.

Fire mouths look nice too lol now it is going to take me ages to make a decision on what to get lol

Tankmates for sevs can be trial and error, depends a lot on tank size and temperment. But anything thats too big to be eaten, and that isn't super aggressive is worth trying.

Nice mullet David
