Description

Size- atleast 1 inch

The green turquoise severum is a type of freshwater fish that belongs to the cichlid family. It is also known as the turquoise severum or the heros severus.

The green turquoise severum is characterized by its bright greenish-blue body coloration, which is highlighted by a series of vertical black stripes. It has a rounded body shape with a slightly pointed head, and its fins are generally rounded and elongated. Juvenile green turquoise severums may have a more subdued coloration and a more pronounced stripe pattern.

Green turquoise severums are native to South America, where they inhabit slow-moving rivers and streams. In the aquarium hobby, they are a popular choice due to their striking coloration and relatively peaceful temperament. However, they can be somewhat territorial, especially during breeding, so it is important to provide them with plenty of hiding places and ample swimming space.

Green turquoise severums are omnivorous and will eat a variety of foods, including pellets, flakes, and live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia. They generally grow to be around 6-8 inches in length and can live for up to 10 years with proper care.
