Posted	arrival of the blue SEVERUM
04-09-2006 12:23 by jonie	hi, my 15-20 blue severum at 1-2" anyone kept them?
04-09-2006 12:36 by PaddyD	What species is it?
04-09-2006 12:37 by telboy	never heard of blue sevs before jonie! got any pics???
04-09-2006 12:46 by jonie	heros efasciatus,put some pics up soon
04-09-2006 12:49 by jonie	heres a pic but not actual fish
04-09-2006 12:51 by jonie	WRONG FISH
04-09-2006 12:52 by jonie	And another
04-09-2006 13:47 by PaddyD	Efasciatus is a stunning fish. It is the species that the aquarium strain came from/is. but ones that are close to wild can look quite different. The variation in the species is huge from the gold strains through the other commercially available to the wild type patterns. Great pick up. The true heros severus is a mouthbrooding species - recently some have arrived in the country.
04-09-2006 14:35 by jonie	well i've heard a 4" they go for £50 is this true if so im gonna make some booze money
04-09-2006 14:40 by jonie	guys, ive just put my hand in to take out some cucumber and they are all chasing me away lol ive noticed there are 3-5 that are bigger than the rest is this because they are male THEY ARE FROM THE SAME BROOD
04-09-2006 16:06 by jonie	just to make sure these are odessa barbs aint they?
04-09-2006 16:30 by PaddyD	yup, that is an odessa barb. Males often grow more quickly, but not a sure sign. keep up your water changes as baby fish produce pheramones that can reduce the rate of growth in other fish, dilution is the key. Regarding value - 6" or so rotkiel (red shouler severums) might demand that in a shop. But yours is just the common species so would be worth more in the region of £10-15 at a full (SL) 4" I would have thought (love to be wrong). The are not common, nor are they particularly rare (retail at 2-3" would be about 7.95)
04-09-2006 18:14 by giles	hi jonie ive just brought some off guy in birmingham is that were yours came from
04-09-2006 21:33 by jonie	was he clsoing down his fish house? paddy these are rare as their f1 and blue not green rotkiel are just as rare
