About
The Severum Cichlid is a large, often considered relatively peaceful, South American cichlid known for its disc-shaped body and varying color patterns. They are intelligent and can recognize their owners. While generally less aggressive than many other large cichlids, they can become territorial, especially during breeding, and may prey on smaller fish.
