beachy Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Hey all, just bought myself a redhead or red shoulder severum. Beautiful looking fish, its only a youngster but already has excelent colour. I was wondering if anyone here is keeping any and had a bit of info on them? I have done a google search but cant really find to much info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Burrows Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Hey, is the main colour of the fish golden, it maybe just a golden severum with strong red markings. Cheers Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachy Posted May 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 No its definately a redhead, i have never seen them before until a couple of weeks ago, my lfs had a big one in there display tank. Not cheap i might add, but after seeing the adult i couldnt resist buying one. I am trying to get hold of a digi so i can take a pic of it and my new tank setup. http://www.petfrd.com/profiles/showphoto.php?photo=102 this link has a pic but my redhead seems to have even more red around the head and lower fins. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Burrows Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Wow, it must just be a awsome colour morf. Do you know if both parents were of that same colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachy Posted May 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 No not to sure sorry, but my lfs had two youngsters and the one i bought was the most colourfull, if he turns out to be like the adult in the display tank, which im sure he will, he will be very impressive.

Snowman Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Treehugga, sounds like you were at goldfish pagoda today, wouldn't be you that bought someAlbino Ancistrus from there would it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treehugga Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 No I bought the rotkeils but patrick told me about the ancistrus Are they your ones? I do quite a bit of business with patrick. After paying through the nose for the rotkiels I couldnt afford the goldies as well. Did you see the sevs in the bags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treehugga Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Hi B&K the rotkiels were not in the book but some other strains that I didnt know of are. Ive hardly taken my face out of that book since I got it. Severums (Besides oscars) are my favourite fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 I havent been there yet, was talking to him Wed & Thurs night, he was telling me about the Red Severums, he has a customer that bought 10 Albino Ancistrus and is keen on 10 GBA so i'm taking 2 over tommorrow for his customer to have a look at. No doubt what ever i can make off them will be spent there....as you do LOL :roll: :lol: Just need more room for more tanks...then all i'll need is more tanks.

treehugga Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 3 days and two of the rotkiel severums have paired up already! I had to remove the other two due to the pummeling they were taking from the new pair. fingers are now crossed for them to do the business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
