What conditions do the severums need for spawning and what kind of
pre-spawning rituals occur prior to spawning them?

Thanks,

I have a pair that have spawned 3-4 times. Eggs hatched last time, and they
moved the wrigglers into a pit. None have survived so far. They're in an
"aggressive" 6ft tank, with spawning Convicts and Blue Acaras.

Try to ensure you've got a pair, then they need a vertical rock surface,
which can be in the open. Mine do the shimmy very often. Don't think the
water conditions are that critical...ie the usual for SA cichlids, water
changes weekly etc. I've never done anything to encourage spawning
