Posted	severums breeding
03-06-2006 23:01 by samy	yeeeeeh just looked in my tank and my rocketiel severums have bred and laid eggs on some bog wood.what should i do leave them in the tank or move them to a tank on there own?
04-06-2006 01:05 by deejdave	Firstly, well done! I have a pair of rotkeil that have bred, just leave them to it, they should raise the babies themselves no problem, I assume there are no other fish in the tank?
04-06-2006 09:01 by samy	there are alot of other fish like an oscar 4 plecos 2 jack dempsey ruby shark and 2 breeding pairs of convicts and 3 large severums. what should i do???move them????
04-06-2006 15:30 by elwellj	id move them as the convicts will probably eat the fry as will the jd's
04-06-2006 16:31 by von	wow, how big is your tank? you've also got a mix of sa and ca cichlids, could be probs later on not to mention differences in water requirements
04-06-2006 18:44 by samy	juwel 260L i have 2 pairs of severums 3 of them are red neck severums and one is a normal green one. ps.i have moved the bog wood wood to a 2 foot tank.
04-06-2006 18:52 by von	I would definately move some fish, there will be no where near enough room in there for all those fish. I take it at the moment they are juvinilles? they grow qiuck and will become aggressive. Also if the severums feel the fry are in danger they will eat them. If the 4 plecs are all common ones you need to re home 3 of them. To be honest that size tank is only really suitable in the long term for the pair of severums. Jack dempseys so a lot of aggression as do convicts and oscars.
04-06-2006 18:52 by von	sorry show aggression not so
04-06-2006 19:00 by deejdave	Once the severum babies are hatched the parents will get very defensive and absolutely hammer anything that comes near them, you'll end up with all your other fish hiding up one end of the tank beaten up... i would remove the other fish and leave the parents to raise the babies... thats what happened with ours and about 20 of the fry were raised succesfully and are now a good size.
05-06-2006 12:58 by Lexter	nice one, let us know how they get on
06-06-2006 20:49 by johnwade	Hi, deejdave, could i ask what your water stats are, like the ph and hardness in paticular. Cause i want to get rotkeil but dont know if they will be fine in my water, my water is a ph of 8 and is really hard,
08-06-2006 12:53 by Lexter	any update on the severum's
