Now I'm really confused because to me, the picture of your red severum looks just like the picture of the super red severum, well at least in my cell phone anyway.

Im confuse myself, i thought super red have lots of dots and reds and red sev is washed out super red.
First pic is what i thought to be super red but the second pic I bought it as super red, its much more orange than what the pic is showing, its washed out due to the flash

This is why I always complain about common names.
Super Red or Red severums are all the same thing -- a higher quality (color-wise) gold. They range from really red to orange. Like gold severums, they are never really uniform in color. Mine started out looking pinkish red, and as they grew, they turned bright orange with red lines and yellow fins.
Ask to see a picture of the fish. Which online vendor is it? Someone may be able to tell you if they have experience with their severums.
The only other possibility are Heros severus or Heros sp. 'Atabapo,' which are sometimes called Red-line severums because they are brown with orange-red stripes down their sides. Make sure you're positive about what you're getting before you spend any money.

Yes, I am trying to get picture now. Thanks for that bit of information on how you actually bought a gold one, that eventually turned out to be orange with red stripes, which I assume started looking more like the top picture of the severum.
This is the same fish. The first picture is when I bought it at 2", and the second picture is what it looks like now.
I have several super red severums some are more red spotted over there bodies like the top pictures. And some arent spotted as much they are all different sizes bought at different times. I do have a super red female that is really red and spotted that is spawning with a male gold. This is their 3rd time spawning. I hope to get some wrigglers this time around. They ate the last two batches.
