Remarks: Severums (Heros efasciatus) have been a mainstay in the aquarium hobby for decades. They grow large enough to act as centerpieces, but they are not tank-busters, and they come in a variety of color patterns. Severums have a very elaborate body color, ranging from green to blue to red depending on light and mood. These ones in particular are a man-made variant that vary in color from green to turquoise. They are typically peaceful, though aggression will surface if pairs form.
