Do most people like the Gold severums as opposed to the Green Sevs?

From what I have researched it seems more people may lean toward Gold due to brighter color and markings. I have never had a severum, but I think I would like a green one. My fish store has only gold ones and says they don't usually get green ones.

I see their are some other variations of Severums, like Red Spotted, banded, and turquoise. Feel free to discuss those variations also if you have an opinion on any of them.

mine was sold as a red-shouldered; but he turned out to be a green.... not sure how to tell them apart when they're babies. I like my green severum alot - he is a peaceful fish and gets along great with my Oscars.

thanks so much! this is my first (and only) severum - so I can't compare. I think behavior wise, they're the same - so it's just personal preference on how they look

My green and gold fighting on Christmas Day 2009. The first and only time I saw them lip locking. The Green has since passed away (not from fighting but some internal infection)


The Gold is still alive and well. Im thinking about putting it in with my Oscars but not sure if I should, Id hate to lose this one too.
