Hi, no i'm afraid the tank is far too small for a Severum,

And i have to say the tank is already very overstocked,

IMO
Bolivian Rams need around 20G per pair
German Rams need around 20G per pair
Kribensis need around 20G per pair
Clown Loach need around 100G for a group
Bristlenose need around 20G per fish

a 3x1x1 is only 22G

I think he might mean african butterfly, instead of american. Also, severums would probably eat the mollies?

Deffo need a bigger tank - severum's are very chunky fish and need around 55-75uk gallons I think. I have mine in over a 100uk gallon and they're growing nicely.

Post about them in the American cichlid forum and hopefully someone will come along to help better than me
