tank mates for severums

[mocaman]

I have two medium sized gold severums, two clown loaches and a redtail shark in a 55 gallon tank. I would like to add a couple more compatible tank mates. This time I am doing my research. I listened to people at the petshop and they sold me baby flowerhorns which have now been placed in other homes. Are there any recommendations? Could I safely add a couple of blue severums? I wanted something to add a bit more color to the tank.

Thanks!

Honduran red point - blue, males with red fins, grow to about 5"

Multispinosa - yellow and black; there's another morph which is orange and red, grow to about 5"

Keyholes - white with black markings, grow to about 5"

you need to get a bigger tank for your current stock if you want to keep them all. clown loaches get to a foot long and really need to be kept in groups of at least five, and that will call for a 180 gallon tank.

red tailed black sharks get aggressiveas they age, and that could cause trouble for your other fish, for they all are swimming in the same area of the tank.

In a bigger tank, there are plenty of South american cichlids that can be compatible with severums, such as chocolate cichlids (Hypselecara sp.) and some of the mid-size acaras (Krobia sp., Bujurquina sp.) Other options include Red hump eartheaters or perhaps even oscars in a very large tank.

First you should have a bigger tank! Your tank is way to small for your current stock.

Sevrums will get along with any other piecefull fish. I have mine with Angels, and they are all buddies.

I also keep green sev with an angel fish and three diamond tetras for dither fish although people here would advise against it
