Severum Red shoulder 10-12 cm

The Red Neck Severum (also known as the Red Shoulder Severum) is a stunning colour morph of the Heros species, prized for its vibrant red and orange markings across the gill plate and upper shoulder. This peaceful, intelligent cichlid is known for its calm temperament, expressive behaviour, and striking presence in medium to large aquariums.
Red Neck Severums thrive in well?maintained, spacious tanks with stable water conditions, gentle flow, and plenty of natural décor such as wood, plants, and rocks. They are generally peaceful for a cichlid and mix well with other similarly sized, non?aggressive species. Their bold colouration intensifies with good diet and water quality, making them a true centrepiece fish.
Feeding is easy — they enjoy quality pellets, flakes, frozen foods, and fresh vegetables. With their vibrant colours, graceful movement, and personable nature, Red Neck Severums are an excellent choice for aquarists looking for a standout, characterful cichlid.
