Just baught a red severum that was very badly miss treated just wondering if he should color up and what type he may be. He is a little under 4 inches and has blood red in his eyes one has a black stripe in it. IMG_20161230_201236.jpg IMG_20161230_200735.jpg
 
Got me, he looks like the color is washed out. What size tank you got the little beast in?
 
His eyes are the coolest thing and after the story I heard about him and his now dead arrawanna tank mate that were left in a bucket outside the pet store over night I had to give him a good loving home.
 
He should color up nicely after some time in a good home. I love severums. I keep a green sev with my oscar. The sev is the tougher fish for sure. Mine is 6" and a total porkchop.
 
I really like him plus he is bigger then anything in the tank so I have faith he will color up nicely being the top of the pecking order
 
Here's a clip of my oscar & sev 75g. Clip is a year or so old:

Thanks. The sev changes color often. In the vid clip above he was dark, which is common for this guy/gal when he's feeling bossy.
