Severums are hardy, easy to care for (as cichlids go), and will thrive
in many water conditions. They may produce fry but that will take some
patience. If fry production is your main goal convicts may be a better
choice though I have less experience with those.

Severums are an attractive fish. Also known as the poor man's discus. But, I
think something smaller would be better for you in a ten gallon tank. If you
wanted to do severums, I'd look at a nice four foot tank.
