Red Spotted Gold Severum
Red Spotted Gold Severums are striking, semi-aggressive cichlids known for their vibrant golden coloration with red speckles. They are intelligent and can recognize their caretakers, often displaying interactive behavior. These fish do best in spacious aquariums with driftwood, hiding spots, and subdued lighting. While generally peaceful with similar-sized tank mates, they may become territorial, especially during breeding.
