Severums and tank mates

[Blacksheep]

I'm setting up a 45 gal. tank for 2 severums. Can I add a Raphel catfish and/or a red-tailed shark? Or would this not be a good idea? What would be some good tanks mates for the severums?
Any advise would be appreciated!
TIA
Anna

From my experience with severums, I have found that they are a fairly docile fish and are somewhat skitish. Mine liked to hide quite a bit, and enjoyed the safety of cover. I would think that they would be fine with the fish that you listed, keep in mind that if you have a pair this might all not count, as we all know most fish get a little more agressive when the spawning starts.
