One of the coolest Severum'Red Tiger Severum'

[Seiichi Hamada]

I would share some pics I took recently.
this was named as Red Tiger Severum from alto Rio Negro.







with young Guama Cichla


The red tiger Severum is considered as true original Hero severus ,
according to their location and the vertical var on the body

This is a service shot of red head(red shoulder) Severum pair


Thanks in advance.

Seiichi,

These are very nice fish!

Several years ago, a picture popped up online of a fish known only as Heros sp. 'Curare.' There was a lot of discussion about the picture back then and some suggested it may be a Photoshop. I even had my doubts. Here were the initial pictures:

Not much was known about the fish. The only information I could find is that they had shown up in France. I never found a record of anyone keeping or spawning them.

Last week Oliver Lucanus posted a stocklist which included these fish, which he also calls Heros sp. 'Curare' from Venezuela. They have dramatic facial striping, a red neck, and iridescent body coloration that bleeds over the vertical black bars. They also have a very unique bar near the tail as you mentioned. Oliver also thinks this fish is the true, original Heros severus as they were described.

I'm very excited because I have a group coming on Monday. My only concern is that no females made it in the import. As you see from your pictures, all the fish have facial patterns which is usually a sign of male fish. In talking with Oliver, all of his fish had facial stripes too. If there are no females we probably will not be able to breed them. Do you have any fish in your group with solid faces that appear to be females?

ryansmith83,
I have seen those 2 pics you show here.
I believe this huge fighter should be a female ,based on my past experience.
I have kept several true H.notatus 'Rio Negro' female like this fish.
The facial pattern of this severum is less than others and almost no red color.





Of course I did venting. The result was identical.
This female is 1/12 ones!!!! It's so funny.......
