Red-spotted (Rotkeil / red-shouldered) severum
A variant of Severum (Heros efasciatus)
Representative Severumphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
A naturally occurring (and now line-strengthened) form with a vivid red-orange wash over the head and shoulder, often attributed to *Heros sp. 'Rotkeil'*. The red shoulder is the signature trait.
Keeper tips for this variant
Feed carotenoid-rich foods (cyclops, krill, color-enhancing pellets) to hold the red shoulder — on a plain flake diet the prized red fades toward dull orange within months.
