Are there any dwarf version of something like a green severum that will do well in a tank with plenty of plants?

Apistogramma Cacatuoides are very nice.

Almost any Apistogramma would work in that type of tank. You also might consider some of the west african dwarfs. They don't look anything like a severum but make a great addition to a planted tank.

My curviceps are about 2 inches and very calm.
