I have both in the same tank and love them both. But one thing that you forgot to mention is Angels tend to be A LOT cheaper than Severums by almost twice the price.

@markcox8956 7 месяцев назад

Very true , here in the uk the angels are cheaper than Severums , angels are more readily available,,,

@rockyandmiles9889 2 года назад

I had a Gold Severum named Daisy in a 55 about 20 years ago. She lived to be about 8. One day I saw her struggling to breathe, I could see a small piece of plastic plant in her throat. I got some tweezers and a towel, netted her and put on my lap, I quickly removed the plant from her throat and put her back in the tank. She was very grateful and happy after that 😃 (and yes I took that plant out of the tank!) She loved being pet and would kiss my finger. She was my aquatic pup! 💛🐶🐠

@PrimeTimeAquatics 2 года назад

Glad you saw that!

@spinelessmoderate8715 2 года назад

My brother and I had a severum that used to play peacekeeper in the tank. He'd interrupt bullying attempts by other fish. He even kept a green terror in check.

@lizettebusquets4305 2 года назад

I've never had severum, but they're beautiful. Angels do bring up lots of nostalgia for me. My family used to have a 125g and the angels in there got huge. They were majestic! I don't know if I'll ever have a big tank again, but if I did, I would get angels. Great video! Thanks!

@brucestuart2780 2 года назад

I have both in a community tank and it's fully planted. The Red Spotted Severum has only been in the tank for a month so I guess we will see if he starts to chew on the plants, but so far so good. Once my custom tank arrives, the Severum and the Angel will be moved to the new tank along with some electric blue acara, Uaru, and some more Severum's.

@joewwilliams 2 года назад

After seeing your red spot gold sevrums when I first found the channel they became one of my bucket list fish.

@PrimeTimeAquatics 2 года назад

They might be my favorite type!

@xardoz58 2 года назад

I have managed to keep plants with my severums. I have water wisteria (fast growing) and I regularly feed leafy greens: romaine lettuce , bok choy and Swiss chard. They eat the greens and leave the wisteria alone but even if the chew on it, it grows so quickly that it recovers. In my community tank I keep angels, severums and geophagus together and they are very compatible.

@philcarlino6942 2 года назад

Of the two, angelfish for me. Community fish that eat plants is a no go, as I use a lot of plants to help in my filtration. Severums are cool though! I really love blue angels and the red shoulder angels. The manacapuru angels are definitely a bucket list fish! Thank you for the video.

@gaylebumgarner2425 2 года назад

I usually turn down the sound and just watch the video, if I can follow. I knew that would not be the case with these types of videos. I have had fish over the years with not much more than a couple of months success. I am soooooo glad you keep the information simple and to the point. You keep my interest and your voice is just right. Thank you much

@makiarn777 2 года назад

I have both and love both! I just got into the angels and now I’m hooked. My bonded pair of turquoise Severums have spawned about 45-50 times. They’re currently guarding eggs while I’m typing my response. Angels are so graceful when they swim. Both fly up to the tank when I approach them.

@PrimeTimeAquatics 2 года назад

That’s cool!

@alisonnicholson 2 года назад

Oh wow those severums are gorgeous. Have had angelfish before and loved them but have never kept severums. They are beautiful looking fish though. Thoroughly enjoyed this video, thank you both

@arielroxi 2 года назад

I have to say I hadn't considered severums before now. But after watching this video I think I'll do a little more research. Thanks!

@paulwhite9242 2 года назад

My brother's got a 300 gallon with some severums, a geo, corys, plecos, and a big school of denison barbs; it's amazing to watch but that severum is both stunning and absolutely the boss of the tank and HUGE, probably 10" and thick. Gorgeous fish.

@frankarenas1551 2 года назад

I have both and I agree with what you said about each. I enjoy each as they have their own characteristics. I have had a pair of gold severums 8" for about 5 years now in a 125 gallon tank, and they need every inch of the tank. I have had luck growing Java fern in their tank. I am also experimenting with potted Amazon swords. I enjoy the look of live plants in the aquarium.

@lazardjordjevic577 2 года назад

The plants would be the most important factor for me. Severums are so pretty, but a tank without plants always looks sad to me, lol

@VinnieMac 2 года назад

Definitely sucks. Had to use some fake plants. But they are definitely awesome looking (mine are gold sevs)

@pauloemmi6216 2 года назад

Came across the festivum cichlid the other week. It made me think of a cross between an angel fish and a severum.

@PrimeTimeAquatics 2 года назад

Those are cool!

@caryfeldpausch3564 2 года назад

I have kept both and have to say I am much more fond of severums. They have amazing personalities and seem to mix well with other fish. I also love their colors. I plan on having a severum tank with a couple of different types when I have the room for a big enough tank.

@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 Год назад

I always liked angel fish. The graceful movement through the water. The long flowing fins and the different varieties. I have heard now that they developed an angel fish that does not grow large, a miniature variety. Have you heard of them? I always kept mine in a 55 gallon tank. Great info you gave!

@PrimeTimeAquatics Год назад

I haven't seen those?

@chiknfriends 2 года назад

I love this, I'm still looking for a centerpiece for my 55 gallon community and have been considering angelfish. Would you consider covering festivums/mesonauta species? I'd love to have some reliable information about them before I make my choice.

@savannahrae9122 2 года назад

Had both, love both for different reasons, I have a severum at the moment and absolutely adore him. I've managed to fine a few (literally 3) species of plant that are mostly successful at staying planted and a plant that does well floating that he hasn't destroyed 😅 so I had my cake and ate it too but he's not overly destructive and it is just one severum in a community setting. His major downside was he was quite territorial toward the other severum I had to the point I rehomed them so they didn't have to be stressed everyday. Basically Any other species he's been good with.

@kakto6548 2 года назад

Which plants?

@pauloemmi6216 2 года назад

U need a few severums in there to spread out the aggression. I had large and medium anubis plants and java fern, never touched them. Make sure you throw in some veggies and keep well fed, as it stopped my nibbling on the plants lol

@savannahrae9122 2 года назад

Amazon Swords, Anubias and narrow leaf Java fern. Also have valis in there that I occasionally replant but they stay planted for the most part

@savannahrae9122 2 года назад

Yeah I had 3 but biggest boy was relentless so slowly rehomed. If I had a bigger tank I would have had more to sort out that aggression.

@twunderaquatics1770 2 года назад

Having all planted tanks Angel's hands down my favorite. Great video. Hope you are doing something special for Joanna today. 😉

@joanvirgil6299 2 года назад

This video couldn't have come at a better time. I have 3 Geo Redhead Tapajos in quarantine right now. About 2 1/2 inches. After quarantine they will be in a 125 gallon tank. My question is how any Serverums would be appropriate. Love your videos!!

@PrimeTimeAquatics 2 года назад

5-6 could work

@HalfManHalfCichlid 2 года назад

My red faced golden severums are sterile. The eggs always turn white. My severums do fine with crypts. I have time tested this for about 5 years. In fact I am adding CO2 to a 340 gallon severum tank to grow lush crypts with them. I have not done crypts with my red shoulder severums (only goldens) but will be trying this too

@joeylovegrove1068 2 года назад

I'd love to get a sevrum but I've never seen one in my area

@markhunter2244 2 года назад

my severum is in my decently planted tanks and leaves my plants alone, my festivum cichlid is the one that goes after my plants, it all depends on if your severums were raised around plants or not

@brendasavini7786 3 месяца назад

I've kept and bred both. What tips the scales for the #1 ranking going to the Angels. There is no easier fish to catch, when bagging up fry for a pet shop!!!!!!

@Gary-yd4zm Год назад

Me personally.. as a long time fish keeper... I feel like u base the aquarium around the fish themselves... I'm definitely a fan of aquascape tho.. I believe it takes the tank hobby to another level... But once again I believe in showcasing the fish themselves! If I'm going with larger fish especially I'm not going to clutter the tank with plants and driftwood and all types of stone and rocks... A few nice artificial pieces or a 3d background or even inserts... If I'm aquascaping then I'll definitely focus on micro fish... Just looks better and it fits the theme or whatever... The 2 don't mix in my opinion unless you are looking at something on the line of 225-400 gallon aquarium because then it has the ability to showcase an entire ecosystem if done right...

@wendihamlett105 2 года назад

Thank you! Love my angels so personable. I have a mated pair in a 60 gallon. They do their thing at every water change but alas not a baby to be had. Still fascinating though. (sorry I have been absent, been busy the last week or so with the new puppy! )

@joeader6046 2 года назад

Seeing that I have angelfish I have to go with those although when I get a bigger tank 125 I plan on getting cichlids

@davidbowman2501 2 года назад

I have Heros notatus (Green Spotted severums) and they destroyed my duckweed problem in just a few days. When I got them I added them to a tank that was overrun with duckweed and it was gone in a matter of 3-4 days. I mean none survived. I no longer have duckweed in any of my tanks. Not having plants in my severum tanks is one of the biggest draw backs to keeping them for me. I planted tanks, but I've settled to having artificial plants in my 125g that has my severum, chocolate cichlids, and Bulgarian Seal Point Zebra angels. If I had to pick between the two species I'd probably go with angels just because I love planted aquariums.

@kenji.23 2 года назад

I have 4 blue sapphire angels and 4 red shoulder Severum love them both equally. But if I had to choose to make room in the tank the angels would possibly need to go.

Severum for me. But u guys convinced me of severum as a showcase fish in my cichlid tank. Now I gotta get 2 more tanks cuz I feel sorry for my severum not having a girlfriend. He's just a teenager tho.

@tobiasblack1749 2 года назад

Severums I have never had. But I like them but I just always prefer keeping Jack Dempseys instead. Angels I have had for 32 years. Tough Discus I call them. Angelfish are better for a wider appeal also more people can have them due to less tank size and don’t eat plants.

Great informative video. You guys are the best! I actually have both we have a red spot gold severum with a koi angelfish in a 58 tall and we have a green severum growing out in a 29 later to be housed in a 75. Will the red spot and Angel be ok when full grown in the 58 tall. They gey along great now but they are both only about 5 to 6 months old with the severim being much bigger at the moment. Any suggestions would be a big help we do have one more 55 not yet setup but have not had any ideas as to what to do with it. Thanks in advance and God bless you and your family

@elizabethwagner2190 2 года назад

My severum is supposed to be green but he changes colors several times a day. He's right out front as soon as breakfast time comes.

@PrimeTimeAquatics 2 года назад

My green severum did that too based on mood - anywhere from almost black to pale green!

@Wyn001100 Год назад

Angel fish: had all species - species with least genetic manipulation (silver, marble) live the longest. All my black / ghost / blue angels all die in less than 1 year. Another negative of angels is they are aggressive toward each other - do a T-pick bite - over time kills angels. If I start out with 12 angels in the same tank, after 1-year only have 5 left. Now if I get angels I only put 1 in a tank.

@audrameyer9558 2 года назад

Hello beautiful people! I adore my Severum. They are like giant water dogs. I have never owned any Angels. My LFS has some that have a blush pink in them, and those caught my eye. Maybe one day I will pull the trigger.

The green angelfish you are speaking of are called Pinoy. You can look us up on Facebook at C3 angelfish. We have a large variety of angelfish including Pinoy.

@apss5736 2 года назад

Seeing these humongous angelfish at stores makes you wonder why they are recommended for 20 gallons. I've seen big ones living with frontosa, brichardi, synodontis, neons all together in one tank. I was shocked that they were all getting along

I have 5 sevrums from my experience the males are more aggressive with other males with there is a female in the tank otherwise one will show his dominance. My three males are together in a 125 gal tank. I have had to separate the two females in two different 75 gal tanks. With my sevrums the females are the more aggressive ones.
