how long does it take them to grow?,

and will it be ok with, blue acara, rams, paradise fish?

if its the 4ft in your profile then id say its full already and wouldnt add another 8"+ fish.

ive allready got it this morning, it aint full, only 3 fish get biggish

You said you have a green terror not a blue acara? Well say 8" for that, 12" possibly for the severum, then add all the other stuff and it's pretty full.

 

[Spike_ea_2k6]

yeh i have a green terror but brought a blue acara, yeh but it has alot of filteration in it.

I've had my severums about 2 months now, and they've gone from 1" to 3"+ already. You really need a bigger tank (110g plus) if you have a green terror, or to return them and exchange for more suitable fish for your tank. Lets face it, the loaches, paradise fish, rams and keyhole wont last long with a green terror, you'll be lucky if your sev does

I'd personally stick with the keyhole and rams for that size tank, and return the sev and GT. They're not suitable tank mates, and your tank is far too small.

That GT wont allow some of your other fish to live long.. I'd be very concerned about your rams and keyholes.

If you get rid of it and get a smaller cichlid like maybe a rainbow cichlid, you should be fine with a severum.

Within a year, my severum grew from 1'' - 6''

the green terror aint in with them, the blue acara is .... the green terror is in a seperate tank by himself

oh I see now..

What kind of rams are they? If they stay small I would worry about them..

 

[Spike_ea_2k6]

bolivian rams

Isee you have two acaras now? There's definitely no room for a sev now - so probably best left as it is

 

[Spike_ea_2k6]

i might have to give one back to the lfs as all they do now is chase eachother, my severum just minds its own bisness LOL, my dad said he will take one on for me.

can blue acara and keyholes go together?

 

[LisaLQ]

Yep, as far as I know As with all cichlids, each is different - you might get one who's peaceful, you might get one who's aggressive. Keep an eye on them and see how it goes - tis all you can do
