the pic quality isn't great i took it with my phone and my gt is stressed because i just finished siphoning the tank before i took the pic. what do you guys think is it a male for female?

Looking from the pic I would say it is male. A good way to know is to look at the dorsal and anal fin when they are flared out. The ends will come to a point on a male. On a female the ends of the fins will be rounded.
 
When looking at the Green terror from the side or profile angle the fish is oval in shape. Looking at the fish from the front shows a very broad forehead area that tapers down to a compressed rear area. In mature males, the forehead can develop a noticeable hump. They can reach a length of about eight inches and have been known to breed at half that size.

The Males are the lookers in this Species. The basic body color is a bright greenish white. The tail of the male terror is beautiful, reticulated and fringed in bright Red. The female is a rather drab Olive Green in color and lacks the metallic look of the male. On some the the chin area is blue green in color.

Just alittle more info so you can tell.
 
Louda,
How is your green terror doing? Any recent pics. I would like to see how those fins are shaping out.
 
Nice color. I would like to see more picts as well.
 
My terror's doing great i just took some pics right now. A couple of them were going to be pretty good shots but it swam or turned away as soon as i took the pic. hopefully you guys can help me figure out which size it is.
