Hi
What is the tank size?
From the stocking i'd guess that the tank is going to be way too small for a severum

Plus Guppys with a Severum is a crazy idea lol

Before my Gold was a adult at around 7" devoured a newly bought shoal of Tiger barbs and a Black widow (4 survived and are still with it now) also I bought a batch of Serpae Tetras which had the same treatment....any fish under 3" gets the munch treatment with my Sevs.

Also bare in mind that My Gold Severum is now 10" and my Green around 9" (both not including tails in measurement) and both are about 6" deep and and 3" wide....so they need a big tank.

How big is your tank?

I believe sevs need a minimum of 75 US gallons

60 Gallons for a Sev 75 for a Oscar.

But! Bigger the better.
