Insect Direct Posted December 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Swt thanks for that, id better go do some reading up on these fish now I know what they are! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 sevs are awesome fish! they are pretty laid back for their size (20-25cm) IME and eat anything. mine loves algae wafers broken up and garden worms (if they get past the oscar hehe). shelled peas and shrimp are also a favourite theyre not picky at all about their water params. they will eat fish they can fit in their mouth and mine tends to keep the smaller fish in line with 'the look' :lol: i think they would probably nibble at live plants if they could, i dont have mine in with real plants permantly in the tank with the sev in it (i chuck in stargrass for the SD's every now and again but thats gone in two seconds flat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 20-25cm's shiv I thought that maybe the case, how long roughly to get that big and will a 4 footer be big enough?? If so how many to a 4 footer? They seem to like live plants ive found if I miss a feeding theyll clean up any greens or duckweed in the tank which is good with me so I often chuck in some duckweed as a way to get rid of it!

sharn Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 theyre not super fast growers IME (not like a couple of cm's a month like oscars) but pretty steady. i didnt take much notice of my sevs growth but he did slow right down when he got to around 15cm. depends how big ya four footer is, if its a standard 200L you could do one adult pair with other smaller fish nicely and everyone would have sufficient room. you can obviously keep more to a tank with the size they are at now and just thin the tank down as they grow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
