Turquoise Severum (Heros efasciatus)
The Turquoise Severum is a beautiful and highly sought-after South American cichlid known for its shimmering turquoise-blue coloration and peaceful temperament. Its iridescent scales create a stunning display under aquarium lighting, making it a standout centrepiece in any large freshwater setup.
Turquoise Severums are intelligent, personable fish that quickly become interactive with their owners. They are generally more peaceful than many other cichlid species and can be successfully housed with a variety of similarly sized community fish and cichlids. Their curious nature and graceful swimming behaviour make them a favourite among aquarium enthusiasts.
Growing to approximately 20–25cm, these fish thrive in spacious aquariums with driftwood, rocks, and open swimming areas. They readily accept quality pellets, frozen foods, and vegetable-based foods, helping maintain their vibrant colours and overall health.
