Any Experience with Red-Shoulder Severums?

[Fish_Mike]

I went to my LFS today and, (although i already knew they had them), noticed and strongly considered getting a pair for my tank. Just a pair of (as they labelled them) 'wild caught peruvian red-shoulder severums'. They were $120/pair, and about 4 inches. They had only four. So now i'm wondering if this is a good price to pay for this fish. I mean, if it's outrageous, heck no, forget it. But i've never heard of them before. Here's a pic of another one found on google: Severum

I checked out some sites on this exact species. Some photos they had that looked alike, but not exactly, were labebelled heros efasciatus. As well, it's a 90 gallon. Suitable conditions for just the pair?

They were gorgeous fish with quite some atttiude

heros efasciatus is what is commonly sold in the trade, Heros Severus is pretty rare IMO.
90 gallons should be okay for the pair, read the pinned the link i gave you

Thanks! Great article

So would 120 be worth it for the pair? or is that just outrageous?
