I think they’re a little to small to go with a severum, but I’m not positive
My sev pays no attention to the kribs it’s with, tbh I’d see apistos being even better because they are much less aggressive. Sevs are anything but mean - mine gets pushed around by the rainbow cichlid.

I’ve had some pretty mean sevs, relatively, but that was towards fish more their own size

alrighty. i heard if i put some dithers in there its also cut a bit of aggression between the cichlids. if that is true what should i chose ?
If you go with what’s been suggested, you shouldn’t need dithers, especially since dithers are more to help shy fish feel more comfortable rather than diffuse aggression. If you did, I’d go with something like Columbian tetras

i am not sure what do you mean. you mean like a saltwater tang setup ??
No, lake tanganyika cichlids like Julie’s or Shellie’s. You could do a pretty sweet tang setup in that tank. I’ll try to find pics of vids of one I had
