Pictures are for reference only, there will be variations in size and color of individual animals.
Green terrors are usually purchased as small juveniles, but will grow to 8"-10" at maturity. They are an aggressive fish and mated pairs are especially territorial, so it is recommended to keep them alone, as a single mated pair, or in a large aquarium with other similarly-sized aggressive cichlids.
Green terrors are sexually dimorphic; males are easy to distinguish once they are of reproductive age as they will develop a hump on their forehead and brighter colors on their bodies.
