{"product_id":"green-severum","title":"Green Severum","description":"\u003cp\u003eGreen Severums hail from the tributaries of the Amazon River basin in South America. Growing up to 25cm in length, Green severums are often considered a ‘gentle giant’ of the aquarium with their blue-green-olive hues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen Severums are oval in shape, and have a similar disposition to discus, however they are more adaptable to small changes in water parameters making them a relatively hardy freshwater cichlid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen Severums can be kept as a single severum, alongside other fish, in a male-female pair or in groups of five or more to manage aggression. A single severum requires an aquarium 280 litres+, for larger numbers there’ll need significantly larger aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Severums are larges considered peaceful, they can become aggressive and highly territorial towards other fish when mating and spawning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen severums are renowned for destroying live plants and vegetation. To mimic their natural environment and promote natural behaviours, consider hardscape materials with smooth surfaces such as rocks and bogwood. Use sand or smooth gravel as a substrate, simulating the natural bed of the Amazon basin tributaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Wirral Aquatics we feed our Severums \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/ebo-foods-mussel-sticks-125g\"\u003eEBO Mussel sticks\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/ebo-foods-pro-soft-artemia\"\u003eEBO Pro Soft artemia\u003c\/a\u003e and Spirulina.
