Hi all, I have a gold severum that Im buying and setting up the tanks for hopefully by the end of dec/ early jan. Dont worry already have a cycled filter! but might.. up recycle it i guess you call it for a week or two before putting the fish in as Its set up on my 29g that most of my fish are in. I have an old aquaclear 500? for 100g+ i beleive.. works like a charm! about 1/3+ the length of my tank.. anyways im just hoping to tranfer most water, the filter+ media, and the gravel? (might change to sand) Ive figured out kinda how I want it to look with lots of slate structures ect, and a few nice full fake plants... As Cow (the sev.) has eaten every plant put into the tank because at the time I didnt know they were the lawnmowers of the fish species.. Now Im trying to figure out a stocking that would work best for him and my cories as Id like to put all my corries in there (albino, pandas, pepperd,false julii and a skunk) and raise their numbers, I will also keep my 29g up and running as the media for the other filter I have for that tank is already cycled in another tank hoping to totally rescape that one.. might do a noobs verson of a planted (basic plants just hoping to get them very full and lush)) So I room to shuffle..If things dont work out! Im really wanting a betta sorority of 6 or so atleased and getting another angel as one of mine died about a week or two ago ( found his way under a huge! chunk of drift wood.. and i guess couldnt get out, water stats are fine so im thinking it was an accident/ suicide =[) and has left its little side kick all alone. If anyone could recomend any tank mates or ways i could aquascape that would make my fishies happy but also have it visually appealing that would be fantastic!:D
 
what size tank is the severum going to end up in? as this will help determine number and type of tank mates

also perhaps ask for this topic to be moved into the new world cichlid section as there are quite a number of severum owners (and ex-owners) who would be able to help advise u
 
agreed , we really need to know what size tank youre setting up for the sev . theres loads of fish that will work well with sevs nut its dependent on tank size
