I put a speckled molly into my tank along with my young severums. They seemed to take an immediate interest in one another. While the bag with the molly was floating in the water, aclimating to the new water temperature, the severums just would not stay away from the bag. They were really checking this molly out good. My first reaction was to think that mabye this was not a good idea, the molly's going to get bullied. But not at all! The molly has taken just as much interest in the severums, if not more. In fact, the molly follows the severums around all over the tank. Wherever the severums go, my molly is right there next to them... neither of the severums seem to mind a bit, not even the alpha fish who likes to chase my other less-dominant severum.

Now... if I can just figure out the sex of my fish, I can name them! If anyone knows how to sex these fish, please let me know (severums, a molly, and a pleco). Thanks a lot!

Sexing Severums. When in doubt look at the vent the female's should be slightly larger than the male's.
