Mesonauta Festivum

Finally i have decided to go with blue rams. My M Festivum doesnt bother
them, and they are taking care of the bottom of my tank. They are sharing
the tank with also rasboras, neon and rummy nose. SO far so good

Thanks

I have a single festivum together with four Severums. They rarely
even notice one another. Festivums are rather unusual for cichlids
in that they are surface dwelling fish; since most cichlids are
bottom dwelling, festivums usually do not directly compete for
territory with other South American cichlids.

Meph

If you can get a severum that is close in size, it will probably
hold it's own, and not be overly aggresive toward your MF, of
course, they will fight some to make a pecking order, and when
that is settled, MF will be on top, Severum will gladly be 2nd
or wherever in the chain, but won't back down much after the
heirarchy has been set... they are tough not mean.. there is a
difference...

they 'may' be aggresive towards their own, or similar sized
fish, but not like a red devil or a jack dempsey.. on the
scale, the severums are the least aggresive... I've only had
2, and one beat the other up and was given a new home, the
other, never harrased anyone until they became the same
size...

rams are a bit small, and I'm not 100% sure, but not
entirely SA cichlid...

I've always liked Severums, hardy, stout and can hold
their own....

I have a MF for few month already, and its been a nice
addition to my fish tank. I am looking to add another
cichlids (south americans) than can share the same
tank. I was reading about rams, I would appreciate any
feed back about rams, and if it is any of htese rams
better than others (in terms of sociability and size)

Thanks!
