species identification
12/27/11
hello,
I purchased a Severum from Petland a few days ago. It's about
4-1/2 inches not including the tail and it cost me $40. It was
labeled as a green Severum. Is this a green Severum with a red
shoulder and face or is it a rotkeil Severum?
Are they really a separate species? I've attached
pictures.
thanks,
Curtis
<Hello Curtis. Certainly appears to be a Heros species with
Rotkeil characteristics. It's a beautiful fish. Is it 100%
pure Rotkeil? Hard to say until it grows up and fully colours up,
but I'd give this fish the benefit of the doubt! It's
well worth $40, and will grace any large fish community. Cheers,
Neale.>
