Green Severum

[markandhisfish]

if you got a juvenile green severum roughly 2 and a bit inches in early to mid december how big would you expect it to be by now? im asking as mine just doesnt seem to be growing whereas vinny pretty much doubled in size in about 3 or 4 months . could it be that he feels insecure in a tank in with bigger fish or are they slower growing or is it that they grow slow up to a certain size then put a "spurt" on? he looks healthy just seems like hes not growing

maybe hes nervous perhaps hed benefit from some dithers?

sev's grow pretty slow as cichlids go. my sevs seemed to never grow as well, but now, the male is really increasing in size and his nuchal hump is starting to develop. as long as it has enough space and a proper diet, your sev will grow so no worries, its only been a little over two months so just give it time.

ok plenty of space as tank is 100g and i feed a good diet. his colours are developing i just expected more growth as my red sev put on a hell of a spurt
