Planning verdict
incompatibleDo not plan a shared aquarium for this pair. Choose a different tank mate or maintain separate aquariums.
Green Severum and Red Tail Shark receive a not recommended verdict from the current structured assessment. Green Severum is recorded as semi-aggressive with an aggression level of 5/10; Red Tail Shark is recorded as semi-aggressive with an aggression level of 6/10. The recommendation is based on the combined water, space, behavior, grouping, and predation checks below rather than on species names alone.
Green Severum has a recorded temperature range of 75–84°F and pH range of 6–7.5. Red Tail Shark is recorded at 72–79°F and pH 6.5–7.5. Their shared planning window is 75–79°F for temperature and 6.5–7.5 for pH. A shared aquarium must stay inside the overlap rather than merely touching each species’ outer tolerance.
Green Severum sets the larger listed base aquarium requirement at 75 gallons; the other listed minimum is 55 gallons. Green Severum is the larger adult by the recorded maximum, reaching 10 inches, compared with 6 inches. These figures are starting constraints, not a stocking-capacity calculation, because the complete group sizes and bioload still matter.
Green Severum is a moderate species associated with the mid zone and moderate flow. Red Tail Shark is moderate, uses the bottom zone, and has a moderate flow preference. Green Severum does not have a recorded minimum school larger than one, while red tail shark does not have a recorded minimum school larger than one. The aquarium must support both social structures without forcing either species into insufficient space.
Green Severum is recorded as a omnivore with intermediate care, while Red Tail Shark is a omnivore with intermediate care. Their listed preferred tank styles are community and rockwork. Feeding access, cover, open swimming room, filtration, and observation should be planned around the more demanding requirement rather than averaged between the two species.
Use these pair-specific boundaries before treating the verdict as an acceptable stocking plan.
