The Heros listings sit alongside Rainbow, Topaz, Cutter’s and Yellow Convict cichlids. These other named species are separate choices, rather than severum colour forms. Use the scientific name as well as the common name when comparing them. The gold Heros offer is labelled “Convict Fish gold”, but its scientific label and guide describe a gold severum. Keep it distinct from the Yellow Convict, listed as Amatitlania nanolutea.
Plan cichlid housingCompare the adult size, water requirements, diet and territorial behaviour of the exact fish. A smaller supplied size does not make a severum a permanently small fish, and belonging to the same range does not establish compatibility.
