Help With Purchasing A Severum

[vanderdraay]

Hi im just after a bit of help, i currently have a green sev in my community tank but would love to have a new addition to it and was considering a golden sev,my green sev is i presume a male as he has the worm like features over his face, now could i put another male in with him or would it be a battle between them im after a female but know its a lottery really on sexing them at a juvenile age. Any help or info from people who own these or had them in the past would be appreciated

thanks
Paul

Greens are more aggressive IME. Best off getting a female I believe. There could still be some aggression though.

What's the tank size? Tank mates?

I'm no sure regarding your current stocking if you'd have space. Never kept the majority of those fish.
