I picked this Gold Severum up about a year ago from a fish store and it was nearly dead (at the surface of the water gasping for air)...feeling bad for it...i purchased it.

Now after having him for a year, he is doing great and looks awesome! Definitely one of my favorite fish now! :19:

He's beautiful. I want one soooo bad. His tail is getting a bit ratty. Who's chewing on it? LOL

His tail now is perfect...every once in a while the little jewel cichlid in the tank feels bigger than he is and will nip a little, but it's no big deal. They all get along 99% of the time.

Thanks for the comments too!

It makes the fish seem even more special, knowing it would probably have died without you...then to see them look so stunning! It's one of the best parts of the hobby!
