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.

Monthly reload for Subscribe & Save Orders
Reload type: One Time Reload
Not a glamorous review, but a genuinely useful tip for Subscribe & Save users. I reload about $100 to my gift card balance once a month, a week or two before my S&S order processes. Amazon pulls each Subscribe & Save item as a separate transaction, which means 10+ individual charges hitting your bank account on before or on ship day. A headache for budgeting and a minor anxiety trigger if you're watching your account for unauthorized activity. Loading the balance first consolidates everything into one clean transaction. Your S&S order then pulls from the gift card balance rather than your card directly, and your bank statement stays tidy. The side benefit is built-in budget discipline. I set about $100 as my monthly Amazon ceiling - if my cart runs over, something gets pushed to next month. It's a simple system that keeps spending intentional without any extra effort. If you're a regular S&S user who wants cleaner finances and less ""wait, who charged this and what was that charge?"" moments, this is worth making a habit.

Great for Budgeting – Instant Balance and Easy to Use
Reload type: One Time Reload
I use Amazon’s gift card reload feature to plan my spending. It’s perfect when I know I want to make a purchase but prefer to set the funds aside first. I love that it’s immediate—no worries about pending charges or accidental spending from my card. It gives me peace of mind knowing that when I’m ready to buy, the balance is just sitting there, waiting. Pros: easy to use, instant balance update, helps with budgeting and avoiding overspending Cons: funds are locked into Amazon once reloaded, doesn’t count toward certain account requirements like review eligibility Overall, it’s a convenient and reliable way to manage spending on Amazon, especially if you like having control over your purchases.

I did this with a pay in 4. It made it super simple for a higher balance.
Reload type: One Time Reload
I’ve used this to reload my balance a few times, and it’s been simple and reliable. The process is quick, and the funds show up without any delays or issues. It’s a convenient option when you want to control spending or keep purchases separate without using a card each time. Everything is straightforward and easy to manage. I haven’t run into any problems with transactions or balance updates. It’s been consistent every time I’ve used it. Overall, it’s an easy and dependable way to keep funds ready to go without any hassle.

Easy to use. Perfect for items you might end up returning.
Reload type: One Time Reload
First thing to note is that this is easy to use. Select whatever amount you want, how often you want it (one time, a specific date, etc), and then click buy and confirm the payment method. I normally only have to wait a few minutes for the process to go through and get the funds added to my balance. I like using this option for the very rare times I order something that I'm not sure I'll end up keeping, such as buying shoes or other clothing. Items that say they're the same size might not fit correctly for some reason and I'll have to return it. I find the return process is faster and easier than using a card where I'll have to wait until the money is put back on the card.
