Profile and Description of South America Cichlids

Green Terror ("Aequidens" Rivulatus)

Profile:

Size : Up to 11 inches.

Temperature : 240 to 28 0 C.

PH : 6.5 to 7 (slightly acidic to neutral).

Diet : Omnivore. Flake, freeze fried & frozen and pellet food. 

Breeding : Open substrate breeder. 

Sexual Difference :  Males are normally bigger with more and longer fins. Older males have nuchal humps.

Description:

Reputed to be a rather aggressive fish,  this is nevertheless a beautiful fish. The fins can either be lined with orange or white tinge. Fluorescent green lines are visible on their head which make them very attractive under muted lighting conditions. 

 

To get a pair, it is generally easier to get a group of young fish and raised them to maturity. They should be allowed to pair off and it is adviseable to remove the rest of the fish. Green Terrors are very good parents and each spawn can numbered 200 or more. 

Likes        :    Long fins and beautiful fluorescent lines on its head        

Dislikes    :    Aggressive, attempt to eat the smaller fish (don't underestimate the size of its mouth).
