Green Terror Cichlid [Andinoacara rivulatus]

Remarks: Green Terrors (Andinoacara rivulatus) have shining blue-green bodies with orange or white trim on the edges of their fins. The orange and white trims give them another common name, the Gold or White Saum. There is still some debate about the differences and whether they represent two distinct species or one species with variation. These large cichlids will do well in large community tanks, though aggression will surface if pairs form.
