The Gold Severum Cichlid (Heros efasciatus) is a popular South American freshwater cichlid admired for its calm temperament, intelligence, and striking golden-yellow coloration. Compared to many other cichlid species, Gold Severums are relatively peaceful, making them a great choice for well-planned community cichlid aquariums.

Gold Severums are active, inquisitive fish that occupy the mid to upper levels of the aquarium. They develop strong personalities and often recognise their keeper, especially when maintained in stable water conditions with a varied, high-quality diet.

With proper care and adequate space, Gold Severums grow into impressive display fish and can live for many years in a well-maintained aquarium.

Physical Characteristics

Just get it.
Color: Black
Fits like a glove. I love the feel and quality of the case. It doesn’t press down on the buttons. And it has a nice little nifty area for the pen. I’ve had a lot more cases that cost way more than this, and not even half the quality this one rocks by far the best on the market.

Perfect Case – Stylish, Functional, and Protective
Color: A-Pink
This iPad case is everything I was looking for! The clear backing is a great touch—it lets the color of my iPad show through, which I love. It feels sturdy without being bulky, and the fit is perfect. The front cover is magnetic and automatically turns off the screen when closed, which helps save battery and just makes things more convenient overall. I also really appreciate the built-in Apple Pencil holder—it keeps the pencil secure and prevents it from getting lost or falling off when I’m on the go. Great design, solid protection, and smart features. Highly recommend!

Great ipad case!
Color: A-Pink
does it’s job and holds up well, is not difficult for charging the actual ipad and works as both a cover when not in use and a stand when folded into a triangle :)
