Thanks Bert!

We're glad you enjoyed the video! 🙏

so cool

i know

@@corajynx6340 Why are you responding to yourself?

Thanks 👍

Hi Samil, the H severus is the largest species, in its wild form. Unfortunately domestic severums have been in many cases been crossed with other species. They should be fed a variety of foods that do include some vegetable matter in them, we have found with the wild fish we have here at HQ that our vegetable based spirulina rich pellets work very well. Some live small earthworms once and a while are appreciated. Large robust flake food, cubes of FD blackworms and other formulations of quality pellet foods, such as the Bug Bite formulations are recommended. Temperature should be within 78 to 82F (25.5 to 27 C). Regular water changes are best, every two weeks 25 to 50% is best.

Thanks for the info....

They're around ten years old!

@@fluval thanks for responding. Can you please give us an update on them? How are they now? One more video please.

We featured them recently on our Facebook page! facebook.com/fluval/posts/10160692279614867

Thanks - it's a 300 gallon aquarium! 👍

Dennis, thanks for asking, they are Leporinus altipinnis, we mispronounced that name in the video.

LOL sausage looking fish =))) It is an unusual one in that each of the stripes are divided by a thin yellow bar. Never seen that before.

That is correct, the point in the video related to how diluted the severum has become.

Fluval Aquatics too bad that wasn’t abundantly clear.

Blood parrots are a cross of a red devil or midas, most likely midas crossed with some sort of vieja cichlid over much breeding of those species the desired mouth and body shape was achieved, I've yet to see a legit severum/red devil hybrid and real hard evidence
