Heros efasciatus (5-6 cm)

Majestic South American cichlid - peaceful, sociable and colourful

Heros efasciatus, also known as Green Severum, is a large Amazonian cichlid highly prized for its tolerance, elegant green/yellow coat, and compatibility with other large, calm fish. It is often used as a peaceful alternative to large African cichlids in community aquariums in South America.

Behaviour and maintenance

This cichlid is :

  • Sociable in young groups, forms pairs when mature
  • Territorial during reproduction, otherwise rather calm
  • Highly intelligent: recognises its caretaker and interacts with him.
To be kept in groups of young or in pairs. Provide a tank of sufficient volume to avoid territorial stress.

Diet

Omnivorous, mainly vegetarian:

  • Granules for cichlids (floating or sinking)
  • Poached vegetables: courgette, peas, spinach
  • Occasionally: bloodworms, krill, artemia, etc.
Avoid excessive animal proteins to limit digestive risks.

  • Temperature: 25 - 29°C
  • pH: 6.0 - 7.5
  • GH: 4 - 12 °dGH
  • KH: 3 - 8 °KH
  • Conductivity: 100 - 250 µS

It tolerates slightly hard, stable water. A powerful filter and regular water changes are recommended.

Decor and environment

Ideally :

  • Fine sand or smooth substrate
  • Hardy plants: Anubias, Crinum, Echinodorus
  • Hiding places: roots, stones, coconut palms
A minimum 250-300 L tank is required for an adult couple.
