Description
Care
The Green Severum is a peaceful species, suitable for communities of non-aggressive medium-large sized fish. In the wild, the gentle Green Severum can be found in slow-moving waters packed with heavy with vegetation. Therefore the aquarium should include plenty of robust plant species along with numerous rocky caves and bogwood pieces. Green Severums can be kept in groups or pairs, but should a pair choose to spawn in a community setting, they will become much more aggressive towards the other fish. Ideally the tank will be at least 4ft long with lots of visual barriers for the other fish to escape the Green Severums attentions. Male fish can be sexed by the presence of cheek markings lacking in the smaller females. If the male seems to overly harass the female, many aquarists find that adding a couple more females will help to spread the brunt of the aggression. After a time, these fish learn to recognise their owner and often come to the glass to greet them or wait for food. A gold variety of this species is also available.
Feeding
Slow-sinking cichlid pellets, flake, lettuce, spinach, frozen foods such as mosquito larvae, brineshrimp, Mysis shrimp, Krill etc. Will avidly consume soft-leaved plants.
Breeding
A breeding aquarium should be set up with soft, acidic water and the pair acclimatised across. The temperature should be carefully raised to 30 °C. Some flat pieces of slate should be provided, which the fish will clean prior to laying the eggs on them. The female usually deposits between 200 and 1000 eggs onto the rocks, and these are then vigorously defended by both parents. The eggs should hatch after 48-72 hours, and once free-swimming the parents will be seen herding them to different areas or pits dug in the substrate. The young can be offered finely powdered flake foods and microworms. It is not unusual for parental care to last up to 6 weeks.

Dogs love them
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 2)
Our dogs love these. What’s great is that you can add more plastic (like from water bottles) if the plastic starts to fall out from the center. If you have a chewer, though, these won’t last you long. Our shepherd mix loves these and then starts to pull the rubber apart the more she plays with it. Our other dogs treat it normally, though, and those ones last forever. They also get some decent height when bounced, and they make a unique whistling noise when thrown.

Our pup loves the cronch cronch!
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
I bought our 15 month old Coton several Chuck-It toys on an Amazon deal. He is incredibly playful, mischievous, and ball/toy obsessed, especially for anything that makes noise. He can also be very destructive so I love how durable most of their products are - they’re among our longest lasting toys and worth every penny. We have yet to take them to the dog park, but they’re a perfect size for sharing in play time. And they are keeping him busy at home - that’s a good thing.
He loves investigating the crunchy-cronchy-crinkly sound which is a nice change from squeakers. It can withstand his destructive chewing well-being, gentle on his little teeth. I love that. Chuck-It is thinking outside the box with a variety of balls to keep dogs engaged! I do worry about the crinkle plastic inside because it is accessible because of the air holes and it feels a little sharp. So this will have to be an at home toy so we can monitor his play.

My dog loves it!
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
This crunch ball was a Christmas gift for my 65lbs fur baby. It’s now mid April and he still loves it. He loves running after it and chomping down on it. It is still in good shape despite all the chomping it’s gotta . I highly recommend. He goes back to this toy agin and again! Great buy.
