I got an other female Heros Severus for my tank..... had a few squabbles so far but seems to have calmed a little now the new one still showing bars though.

Going to get some netting tomorrow to make a temp divider with suction pads for her fins to heal up - they were quite bad in the shop.

Shes as big as the other Severus but not as tall she is also a different base colour almost white where as my other is quite olive. I suspect she is wild due to her adult size but the staff were not as helpful as they often are and couldnt tell me anything about her, but I think she will be a different regional variant from my first sev which is from the Orrinoco (spelling) not sure where the paler ones come from.

Hopefully I am buying Always4loras 4x2x2 asap once he comes back on line and we finalize a price then just got to rent a van etc and its sorted :) but I had to get her from the shop she was the second smallest of the batch and getting pushed around a fair bit.

Once Ive got her separated and shes calm Ill post the pics, hoping that her baring will settle down by tomorrow night though.

Looking forward to the pics once she is more settled...
 
Cool :)

I bought my Green as a Heros Severus, but don't know how I can tell if that's true. She's quite small, seems slower growing than my Red Spot.

If you can post a pic of her with her bottom fin stretched and pref showing her bars I can ID her for you :) Most likley to be the larger Efascticious though, at some point in time the breeders started using Heros Efascticous for the common severum and didnt tell anyone at all at a guess I think it is at least 20+ years ago because most people in shops and breeders dont know the difference or the existence of two types of severum.

Mine is getting on a bit better this morning not moving much and keeps high up but shes being left alone still showing bars though but they are lighter than yesterday. Im hoping we should be settled by this weekend. She just needs to recoup and fight back and decide whos having which bit of the tank and it should work.

Thanks Wills :) It's a pretty poor shot, and of when I first got her so over a month ago. All I have so far though, not sure if you can tell in this one or not? :)

Do you have a larger pic? I cant tell 100% but the bottom fin looks smooth from this so it looks like it might be Efascticous? Do you have a pic of them with bars out?

Tried to get some photos of mine but the photos are terrible ill try again an other time.

Things seem to have calmed down a little now..... the new one is out a lot more for the past 12 hours or so and the bars are lighter and not always present starting to show a bit of orange around her belly as well now :) my nic seems to be standing up for her as well haha :D
