Is a 29 gallon to small

Is a 30 x 12 x 18 to small for a severum?

I wouldn't do it, but thats personal opinion.

I would put a severum in anything less than a 30 gallon long..... 55 gallon would be great!!!!

well i just got a tank setup so now i have 6 tanks but im trying to get something different could rams be in with tiger barbs?

[cocoa_pleco]

i wouldnt put a severum in anything less than a 75g, some people say 55g but when you see a fullgrown one you'll need the extra width

yes, rams and tiger barbs will work

Theres a few types of severums. Green severums, and gold severums. Both get the same size. They are a South American cichlid. They get 8-10".

I don't think you should. Personally I think you need at least a 40g tank by itself, with a 55g being better. I have a severum and i love him. He's such a docile fish but is able to hold his own against more aggressive fish easily, and he has so much personality.

Just type in severum on google and look at all the results that come up. There are also probably 1000 pictures. Severums come in a lot of color varieties, my favourite is the green/red mix.

I wouldn't keep a severum in anything less than a 55 gallon, and that's only if you have very good filtration, and really keep up on your water changes.
A 29 gallon might be ok for the first year or so, but long-term your going to need much bigger.
