i am so mad at my lfs they said that it is a redhead sev!

If what you wanted was a redhead, then return it, a redhead or redshoulder as they are also known will cost you considerably more than a green/gold.

what are the tank requirements for a rotkiel? tank mates etc. my lfs gets them in once in a while but they're juvies how long do they take to mature?

 

[minxfishy]

Same as any other Severum, they will reach 8-9", need a 75g to be happy once full grown, as its not just the length of the fish, they are chunky.

Grow at about half the rate of an Oscar IME, so an inch every two months approx, depending on feeding and space.
