Bloody hell, I did the same thing to a guy named Lesley here on a local
mailing list......DOH....My apologies MR. Birrell

Since you have ID'd this wee blighter I have done some research and it
appears that I have made a bad choice! I have a pair of these bought
yesterday that have been put into a (mistake 1) 3 foot (mistake 2) planted
tank. From the research it appears that they require at minimum double the
size of my tank and apparently they dig and tear up plants profusely!!!!!
This is an awful shame as they truly are magnificent looking fish. I thought
I would take a chance with them but it appears to not be paying off. Do you
think I should keep them a while or give them away while the goings good?
Are all Severums as destructive as they say? Thanks again for your advice
and apologies on the gender issue Cheers for now.

Kind Regards
Cameron
