Severums

Im just wondering.... they are such nice looking fish.

I would say at least a 55 gallon tank.

They grow to around 8 inches and most likely you will only be able to keep only other big fish with it as well, so ATLEAST a 60 gallon.

I was told by many that my 40H is ok. Gives it 4 and a half times it's length, 1 and a half times its width, and plenty of top room for however tall it gets.

A single specimen can technically be kept in as small as a 35 gallon, but as a recommendation I'm going to agree with 55 or larger - he will do better, grow better, and live longer with the proper space.

Is he going to be going solo, or will he have tankmates?

Ill get a couple when I get my bigger loach tank.

i thought they got 10-12"?

I have heard of them up to 12" but haven't personally seen any of that size. I got mine a couple months ago but it was only an inch long at the time. Now its 4" but its still got a lot of growing to do.

man, DD is right, this forum is lacking with out VIP...

a sev can grow all the way up to 12 inches!
and needs about a 50G, not 60, and NOT 35G
