BEAUTIFUL ORANGE SHOULDER SEVERUM 1.5 TO 2 INCHES HEAD TO TAIL (Green Phase)
The Orange Shoulder Severum is a beautiful and peaceful South American cichlid admired for its vibrant orange coloration across the shoulders and upper body, combined with its graceful swimming style and friendly personality. As these fish mature, their colors become more intense, making them an eye-catching centerpiece in any freshwater aquarium.
At 1.5–2 inches, these juveniles are well-started and will continue to develop their stunning adult coloration and unique markings with proper care. Since they are still young, sex cannot be guaranteed.
