        Thanks. I have had Severums in the past. The swim slow like Front, but I have never had the together.

          This is my first time with Severums, It looks like everything is going OK.  They sure look good with the Frontosa.

            Personally I believe it would work.. the only thing is that I have never been a fan of mixing fish from South America with Fish from Africa.  I have seen many who do it and later regret it.    Just my 2 cents worth.

                It should be a good mix of african and central americans.....I've never had or kept fonts, but the severums are in my opinion,
                a good mix with just about any large or aggressive fish, they can and will hold their own, but then they are not pushy or too aggressive at the same time.

                The biggest attraction to me of the Severum is their graceful presence in the tank, should compliment the font.

                  Looks good to me. What are the dimensions of that tank?

                    The thing with fronts are that they are only aggressive when you are not looking.....any other time they are greatly effected by the presence of other fish....having kept severums(really long time ago) and observing them when I do see them they should work well with fronts if they are about the same size.

                        If you are concerned, why don't you sell the fonts and get some thing with similar coloring. Like green sevs
