Description
The Red Neck Severum is a striking freshwater cichlid prized for its vibrant red coloration and distinctive neck markings. This 4-5cm juvenile displays the characteristic deep body shape and intelligent personality that makes severums popular among experienced aquarists.
These cichlids thrive in well-established tanks with plenty of hiding spaces and moderate water flow. They're relatively peaceful compared to other cichlids and can be kept in community setups with compatible tank mates. Red Necks develop their most impressive coloration as they mature, making them a rewarding long-term addition to any aquarium.
Ideal water parameters include temperatures between 24-28°C and a pH of 5.5-7.0. Provide a varied diet of quality pellets, live foods, and vegetables to support their health and color development.
