I once had a young parrot paired in a tank with a young severum. They were both the same size and worked out great in the begining. Later on though, as they grew the parrot fish became very aggresive to the severum and would not alow her to eat. I moved the severum to a 55g and the parrot fish continued the behavior with any other fish in the tank with it. I ended up giving the parrot back to the store I bought it from.

I don't think the problem had anything to do with the Parrot/Severum combination, but thought I should post my experiance anyway.
