pair of severums

[phantomfe3]

i found a pair of severums at a local pet store and im gonna buy em when i get the tank to myself, what are some interesting tank mates of these fish? will they get along with a red tailed black shark? and i bought my friend some cichlids but they chewed up her goldfish, so shes lookin to get rid of them, would they get along with the severums?

[phantomfe3]

the tag said 'assorted african cichlids' one yellow one, another yellow one with black stripes running legthwise on its body and then a dark cream/brown colored one with darker colored fins

africans are too aggressive for Sevs imo. They also take different water parimeters as well.

Severums are very easy, anything not to small to be taken for food or too nasty will do. Almost any Barb if you want something smaller or the Blue Aequidens for something larger will work great
