	Green Severum in a 30G
HALW_Fish Fingerling Posts: 17 Kudos: 19 Votes: 0 Registered: 09-Sep-2005	Not finding much information about this so i thought i'd ask you guys since you have been so super helpfull Is this type of fish ok as a solitary fish. There would be other fish in the tank of course -- but this would be the only one if its kind. (Looking for something for a 30 -- and happily ordered my 65G yesterday )

The largest fish you should keep in a 30 is a 4-5 inch fish like a Firemouth. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames

Hooben Big Fish Posts: 346 Kudos: 219 Registered: 27-Oct-2002	I'll tell you that it's not a happy existence, but many years ago I was given a 29 gallon with a green severum, and two lamprologous brichardi's. They had lived many happy years, but I gave them a bigger home. I currently have a 4 year old severum in a 70 gallon tank that is only 7 inches long. She's a little female, so small severums do occasionally happen. ________________________________________ The calming qualities of a good aquarium are irrefutable
