The good thing about Severums is that they are not really aggressive but can defend themselves well.
In 145gal, I keep 2 Severums (Gold, Green) with 2 Oscars, 2 Convicts, and (until I finally set this tank at my office) 3 Kenyi (actually 2, one is in the hospital tank).

Since your tank is 65g, I guess you could try paired-off Convicts, if you provide them good caves. Both will likely breed, and likely create interesting stories in that tank.

that does sound like a good idea..hhmm do you think jewel cichlids wud work?

Allie

Nope they are an African cichlid...different water parameters.

Allie

If you plan on keeping them in the 65g for life...then don't add anything else. There will be just enough room for them.
