Turquoise severum cichlid

Can they live with angelfish

 

[HUKIT]

I think they would make great tankmates as long as it's a 75g or better since the sev could reach 10".

 

[Angelfish56]

Do they need to be in groups and I have a 75g and would they be good with blue rams keyholes a rainbow shark and some fish that are a few inches smaller

 

[Angelfish56]

Anything

Severums and angelfish would work with heartier rams than the blue. Blues might be a little *too*...."wimpy".

Severums need to be at least in 2's. Angels I thought were ok by themselves..

How do you mean wimpy like it will be picked on and what about the other fish I mentioned will they be fine

Your other fish should be fine... Blue rams are *very* picky about water quality, plants, etc. Bolivians are heartier.. Just as colorful, tho.. They get to be approx. 4", or so.. Blues hit 2-3"..

Ok you said blues get 2 or 3 and the other gets about 4 does a inch matter that much

Not so much as the fact that blues need warmer water and are not suitable in community tanks. Theyre better in species only tanks. Water changes are bigger and more frequent. They have a low tolerance for just about everything.

 

[Angelfish56]

Ok

 

[Dissy]

Ok

But they're *oh so much prettier*. I wanted them really, really bad.

Dissy are you good on identifying fish sicknesses

Not in the least.. Last fish I had that was sick had ich, and that was probably 20 years ago.. Sorry..

But what's wrong with it? You might be able to type symptoms and fish type in to Google, and get quite a few hits... Wetwebmedia is one that comes up an awful lot - he seems to know what he's talking about...
