Finally Made My Mind Up!

Just been to the LFS and picked myself up a beautiful green severum. Put it in the tank about half an hour ago and already out and about exploring.
Here are a few pics, could anyone possibly sex it? I forgot to ask at the shop! Then there's my new rusty plec in the bottom pic as well

lovely sev.

I like the rusty too, used to have one of these, always out and about - much more so than most other plecs.

Thats good news, I used to have a golden nugget and a blue phantom, both hid away most of the day and I never actually saw them! I'd much rather have a plain looking plec that I saw than I stunning one that never came out!

I've got a true parrot coming next week.... lets hope they get along

lovely sev but im afraid your juwel vision 260 is on the small side . i reccomended a rotkeil as 1 of the smaller sevs for that very reason in your other thread . you really should cancel that true parrot too they are a very large cichlid that will need a tank much bigger than yours .

I inherited him with a tank I got a few years back, it was overstocked with 3 blood parrots, 3 green sevs and an african blockhead, which I all moved on fairly quickly. He was a robust thing - held his own at the bottom despite the blockhead.

Always wanted a blue phantom, had a couple of green phantoms, a chocolate zebra plec and a golden nugget plus some less colourful ones. The fancy plecs do tend to hide out more.

Don't worry I wasn't ignoring your advice. I picked the smallest green sev in the shop (about 5 1/2 inches), and the parrot I'm getting is only about 6-8cm at the moment. Got plans to move onto a bigger tank as soon as they start to outgrow my 260!

Your thread basically made me decide to get a green sev... out of the three in the shop this one was the most similar to Mr jeeves
