In 55g i have 3 fishes: Jack Dempsey CA cichlid, Severum green, turquouse or banded (difficult to tell) SA cichlid, Synodontis eupterus African catfish.
They are all 7-8" for now but can reach 9-12". Actually i feel like they're already overcrowded. Every one of them is great fish. They are handful because in spite of all the filtration i have (Rena XP + HOB for 75g) and descrete feeding i am changing water quite frequently (twice a week at least 20-50%) because severums are prone to fin rot. Tiniest water deterioration and your sev is already rotting.
