The Red-faced Severum is a colour variant of the Gold Severum, where they are selectively bred to augment the red colouration present on the fish. All colour variants of Severum are very popular as they are one of the few larger and peaceful cichlids in the hobby and generally do not bother their tank mates. Red Spotted Severums are native to lakes and tributaries of the Amazon Basin in South America.
Though not the true mouth brooding Severum species (Heros Severus), Red-faced Severums are very attractive and grow larger than their mouth brooding relatives; not to mention their remarkable breeding colours of intensely bright orange-red on their bellies, anal fins, and pelvic fins in addition to their bright red eyes and beautiful green bodies with faint vertical bands.
Males have extended anal, dorsal, and pelvic fins as well as worm-like markings on their faces and operculum. Due to their popularity and successful breeding, the Red Spotted Severum are typically available via local retailers and online vendors.
