Severums

[arjones]

I saw the most beautiful gold severum the other day and wanted ur opinion on whether it would be ok with discus. I know they can be aggressive when breeding but i am not intending this. They are similar to discus in so many ways im tempted but is their temperment too dodgy for discus. I've got 3 4-5" discus in a 55 gallon tank and love em to bits and dont want to jeopardise them in any way. No one ever really comment on them is this because they grow too big and will scare discus? Feedback and opinions will be greatly accepted

I Have a single Gold Sev with my discus and have had no problems whatsoever. Pics can be seen on

won't lie I use to have one and still do in another tank, and I got it when it was tiny and it grew fast and eventualy got larger than my discus. It would nip the other fins and charge the discus when it wanted to. I moved it to another tank. I won't say no because mine would "bit" my hand when it was in the tank! I think they can be nice, just keep an eye in it!
