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.

JUST BUY IT!!! Finally found what I was looking for
This is the first time I have ever written a review - THATS how good this product is!! It smells like vanilla bean ice cream, it is so deliciously sweet and fragrant. I have been searching for something that leaves a strong yet natural scent on the skin and this is it. It makes me feel like a sweet and soft ethereal fairy princess and is so so so moisturizing on the skin. My bf loves it and has pointed out multiple times how soft my skin is just from a few uses I use it right out of the shower while my skin is still a bit wet. It is lightweight enough where it dries quickly enough for me to put my pajamas on without greasy-ness. I'm at work the morning after and can still lightly smell it on myself If you're looking for a sign - this is it - JUST BUY IT!!! :)

Light, Hydrating, and Non-Greasy — Perfect Everyday Body Oil
I purchased this body oil a little over a week ago, and overall, I have nothing but positive things to say about the product itself. The only complaint I have is with the packaging. When my order arrived, some of the oil had leaked in the box. The bottle doesn’t come with a separate cap—just a twist/lock feature that can easily come loose. Because of that, it must have unlocked during transit, causing a small amount of product loss. Luckily, it wasn’t bad enough for me to feel the need to return it. As for the oil itself—it’s lovely. The scent is light and pleasant, nothing overpowering. While I don’t pick up a strong vanilla note once it’s on my skin, it has a smooth texture that absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue. It’s very hydrating, and the bottle size feels generous for the price. If you’re looking for something heavily fragranced, this might not be the one for you, but it’s perfect as a layering oil or for anyone who wants a subtle, nourishing glow. Highly recommend!

Just Buy It
This smells AMAZING! The body butter smells amazing too but the oil smells so much like the Vanilla Amber Sand+Fog oil perfume. I’m so glad I have all three and went ahead and picked up some Vanilla body wash. My kids said I smelled like a bakery all day. I couldn’t stop sniffing my arm and clothes the scent sticks and such a wonderful combination to my perfumes that has vanilla notes. Also, makes your skin feel awesome after a shower. It’s not so greasy after application and gives your skin a beautiful glow in the light. BUY IT!

Size: 6 Pairs - 6 Colors Assorted
Works great for myself & hub! I bought them mostly for him because his feet are wrecked, but it’s a 6 pack, so yay me. The cushiony heel was a bonus I didn’t expect, so nice + comfortable to sleep in- usually hate sleeping in socks but since your toes are free, these do not bug at all. Definitely get these
