Green Terror Size

[GT3050]

What is the max size for a male and Female GT? I've heard many different things from 6"-13". Thanks.

probably around 13 inches depending on your tanksize

There are about 6 different cichlds passed off under the common name green terror. The most commonly found in LFS is bred in thailand. Males top out at about 8 inches and females about 6 inches. Depending on the species or what it has been bred with there are cichlids that are sold as green terrors that have reach a overall length of 15 inches, but this is very, very rare.

Average size is 8-10 inches, but they grow very slowly after about 5 inches or so, so large green terrors are rare. Mine is a little over a year old and around 6-7 inches now, although he spent a good portion of his life in a 30 gallon tank.

max size around 12-15" with life long pristine water conditions and a large tank. (75g+)
normal max size is around 8-10" cause they are notrmally kept in smaller tanks less than 55g and not the greatest water conditions.

Awesome man, I really like your site, hands on experience from someone who knows what they are talking about (16 years is alot of experience) with perfect detail and instruction, just what I've been looking for, and if you are the one taking those pictures. Wow. I was thoroughly impressed. Be looking forward to your upgrades to the site, I've got it saved to my favorites :)

A great site to say the least. I really enjoyed the pictures and the detail you put in to the site, not to mention all the instructions you provided with the various species. Congratulations on a great website, and fantastic tanks.

Nice site. You take some great pictures too.

Only one little mistake I noticed. Your great white shark is a tiger shark in the picture ;)

Have you had any bad compatablity issues with any of your tank busters?

[predatorcichlid]

Thanks guys, Glad you all like it. It is due for a up date. ScottomacD Good eye it is a tiger shark. In fact it's a female tiger shark that decided to check out my friend dan during a dive. BTW I do not go diving and did not take that pic, but liked it and stuck it up there just to bother my wife. I keep telling her I'm going to get a great white shark and that was the cloest thing I had.
Do I have any compatablity problems? No, not really in the 265. The jag, trimac, midas, were all purched at the same time at a size of 2 inches and have lived in the 265 there entire lives. The dovii was introduced 2 years latter at a size of 5 inches. I have been trying to keep a mature male dovii in moderatly stocked cichlid community So far so good. When the dovii reaches a size of 18 inches or becomes too aggressive he will be moved to the 450 gal. community tank. I have had problems in the past with other similer combinations (minus the dovii). I also would not recommend housing a adult dovii with another guapote (the jaguar) As this combo rarely work even in large 8 foot tanks. finally an adult dovii can easily liquidate a midas or trimac if he wanted to, so some care, aggression control and close attention to there behavior will be needed to keep the dovii aggression in check (if possible) when he gets bigger and meaner.
