Hi there I wonder if anyone can help us sex the severums please. Also can you tell us what type they are obv I think the larger one is green severum but is the smaller red shoulder? The larger one often chases the smaller and also digs out stones. Is this rest break possibly??
 
Pictures would help. :)
 
If the smaller one is a red shoulder/rotkeil severum a male would have marks on the gill plate, sometimes reaching across the front of the face between the eyes, these would be squiggly lines, a female has a plain blue face with no markings. A female green severum would also be free of facial markings, a male green does have facial markings also.
 
Male green

 
female green
