[rotkeil]

hay iv 8 severum in my 750l custom tank,iv wild rotkeil, some red spotted severum and some gold severum and a common green severum,750l is still very tight with this species as they are very quick growers and are very big, i like t feed mine some live brine shrimp or bloodworm,IMO this type of live food promotes healthy digestion and increases breeding chances of the fish,if i am using flake i use tetra pro color and some JBL novo sticks for cichlids,daphnia is also another nice source of food,i would avoid mealworms, and wax worms maggots as they are harsh on the severums digestive tracks,and remember as with all live foods water must be changed frequently,hope this reply helps regards to lifespan if cared for well these are hardy fish my LFS has told me up to 7 years but iv heard rumor they can go much more,
