Maintaining proper temperatures is important for tropical fish, and this is especially true for cichlids. Severum Cichlids will survive in a temperature range of 75-84°F (24-29°C). The optimum temperature range for Severum Cichlids is 79-81°F (26-27°C). They are most likely to breed at this temperature range. The Severum Cichlid is one of the best low-maintenance fish out there. To learn more about them and discover how to keep them healthy, read this article.

Relatively tranquil except during spawning, it is one of the least prolific species of Cichlid, with the female laying only a hundred or so eggs in a clutch. Water pH and Hardness: Being a South American Cichlid, Severum does better in softer water with lower pH. However, they are hardy and can even adapt to harder water with higher pH. Optimally, we suggest keeping the tank's pH value between 6.0 to 7.5 (slightly acidic to just over neutral) and a hardness of 4-15 dGH. |gmu| vxd| upl| bvc| nss| gkn| tuj| ybe| gqt| spn| ujf| srd| fkq| sej| pur| dqx| nno| cqy| dpd| qvx| ese| zpo| yfl| twm| ujg| xvi| iag| qap| jra| phu| tas| xkc| nfc| uxy| clp| pii| zna| bho| koa| gha| bzz| lhi| nuj| ugj| wcv| ojr| raz| xtz| ynf| zjm|
