MARVELOUS GOLD FIRE SEVERUM SIZE 3 INCHES
Elevate your freshwater aquarium with a gorgeous, high-quality 3 inch Gold Fire Severum (Heros efasciatus). Known for their stunning golden-yellow coloration and vivid red/orange speckles, these selectively bred South American cichlids make the perfect centerpiece fish. Despite being cichlids, they are known as "gentle giants" and boast a highly interactive, personable demeanor.
Key Features:

Tank Requirements:
- Minimum Tank Size: 55+ gallons (75+ gallons preferred for full-grown adults).
- Water Temperature: 75°F to 82°F.
- Water Parameters: pH 6.0–7.5, soft to moderately hard water.
