Well things are not all that they seem.
6 Months ago I rescued a bunch of tanks and included in this group were 2 Large Male Severums, A confirmed Female Angel, 2 Hammered Silver Dollars, Some large Goldfish, A Huge Silver Scat, and a gold and black sailfin molley.
Now all these fish had some kind of issue so I had been nursing them back to health. I rehomed the golds and the scat. Put the molley in my molley tank where he loved the ladies and moved the remaining fish to the largest tank so they had more room.
Now this little story is all about the severums. When I got them they were about 6" or so poor color and I was told and from all observations males. Well 3" later and a lot of recovery I now have about a 100 eggs on a fake rock in the tank...:wall::wall::wall::wall:
So now if they reach wiggler stage I have to shuffle the Angel, The 2 Silver dollars now about 6" themselves, A Rainbow Shark about 4", and a Chinese alage eater to another tank just what I needed.
I should have filleted them it would have made my life easier. Anyone know a good breading recipe for severum?
Here is a head shot of what I know now to be ther real male not the fake one.
And a Full Body shot of mom when she was still small if you call about 7" small.
