William Edmunds –
The fish is calm and active in a well-maintained tank. I provided a consistent light cycle and hiding spots. It has adapted well to the environment and shows no signs of aggression with other tank mates of similar size.
Oliver Hemmings –
It’s a good choice for a mature aquarium. The water parameters need to be stable, and I made sure to have a strong filter. The fish is not overly active but stays in the middle of the tank, which is peaceful.

After a few weeks, the Rotkeil Severum settled into its routine. I noticed it becomes more territorial during breeding season, so I kept it with larger, non-aggressive fish. Overall, a reliable and low-maintenance species.
