Severums

[Spencer Pike]

Hi, I know that the fish like guppys and swordtails are small but I've heard of people having a Severum in a tank with them. Would this work out because I really hope It would. I would use a 55 gallon and have a gold severum with guppys. Report back ASAP please. THANK YOU!

I don't know about guppies.. small ones will probably become food.

Any more replys?

The guppies will be food. I have a 7" gold severum that easily eats crickets and krill much bigger than most guppies.

Try dwarf cichlids, keyholes are nice

would rams work?

Yes, most dwarf cichlids are pretty good with small fish

If you get the sevs when they are VERY small and you add them to your guppy tank then you might get away with it not eating any, but I wouldn't risk it. Also I have a 55 UK gal and sevs. grow MASSIVE so if you want a sev then you will only be able too keep one in a tank as small as that. I keep 2 in a 100 UK gal tank, amongst other fish.
