Representative Severumphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.

Intensely line-bred designer severums — 'Super Red' is near-solid red-orange and 'Turquoise' shows heavy blue-green vermiculation. Both are aquaculture creations selected for saturated color.

Keeper tips for this variant

These saturated lines need warm (78-82 F), stable water and color-enhancing feed to express fully; sudden chills or poor water cause rapid color loss and stress barring on these high-strung selected fish.
