Lol. I have 4 of these!!! 2 angels, a ram and a electric blue acara in my 90 gal ( full planted). Used to have 3 electric blue acaras but 2 paired up and where super aggressive and started unplanting all my plants because they where making the nest on the sand for the babies. Also i have shell dwellers in a 33 gal long with anubias, java fern, jungle vals and duckweed.

As someone who has had Severums for decades, I've found that it comes down to the specific Severum in whether they eat the plants or not. I currently have a full grown Severum in a planted tank with no issues with him eating the plants.

Acara are pretty docile, unless paired up and breeding. I had a geo in with my acara and had to move the geo because he was being so mean to the acara. After that the acara ballooned in size and colored up beautifully. I have one acara in with 4 angels, red eye monks, zebra & leopard danios and a pictus cat. They get along great now.
