Severum fish, also known as Heros severus or Banded Cichlids, are a species of freshwater fish native to South America. They are popular in the aquarium trade due to their unique appearance and interesting behavior.

Severum fish are relatively large, growing up to 8-10 inches in length. They have a unique appearance, with a rounded body shape and distinctive orange or red eyes. They come in a variety of colors, including green, gold, and red, and may have black markings on their body.

In the wild, severum fish are found in slow-moving rivers and tributaries with a lot of vegetation. They are omnivores and will eat a variety of foods, including insects, small fish, and plant matter. In captivity, they should be fed a balanced diet of high-quality pellets or flakes supplemented with occasional live or frozen foods.

Severum fish are generally peaceful and can be kept with other peaceful fish of similar size. However, they can be territorial during breeding season and may become aggressive towards other fish in the tank. They require a well-filtered tank with plenty of hiding places and plants to mimic their natural habitat.
