Angelfish And Severums?

[DazedNCoNfUsEd]

Does anyone have experience with keeping Angelfish together with Severums?

Right now I have 2 Angels that are about 3 inches. I've had them for about 6 months and they have been with 2 male Dwarf gouramis, and also some Black skirt tetras a while back, I have never seen a hint of aggression out of either of them.

I'm wondering if I can move them into a 55 Gal tank with a Severum that is about 2 and 1/2 inches atm. Will the Sev harass them too much whenever he gets older?

P.S. Of course I would have to make other arrangements for the Tiger Barbs currently in the 55 as they cannot go with Angels at all. I'm just speculating here.

The angels should be ok with the sev, but you never know how the fish will act when they grow up

My severum was fine for a good year with lots of fish, then all of a sudden one day it went crazy, and has killed parrot cichlids and convicts. It is a total terror.. so you never know when the fish grows up how it's going to be.

Did you just have one Severum or more than one?

The tank had 4 severums. Now it has 2, and it killed another parrot cichlid overnight. I hate severums now it's official.

Pretty much everywhere that I've read says that Severums are much more aggressive when they're with their own kind. Thats why I'm only gonna keep one, I don't really care much about breeding.

I still don't even wanna risk it, I like my Angels, so I think I'm gonna keep them where they're at and put a Blue Acara with the Sev instead. Thanks for the input though.
