Sorry I should have said its not actually my fish, a guy on aquabid rarefish..something or other, sells them.I think they are probably a hybrid(blue dempsey x gt maybe)but may be a colour morph.
Nice fish though.

That fish looks like perhaps a flash reflected off it. The one I have is similar to the one ThorinMan has except slightly more blue...but not by much.
all the fish in all the photos that have been posted(including mine) so far are not technically Green terrors. True Green Terrors have not been collected for the trade for probably at least 10 years. reason? their just isnt anyone in the area where true Green terrors are, to collect them. All the fish that we have in these pictures of are sold under the common name "Green Terror" because they look similar to the true species. They really are an acara of some type, but yet after as long as they have available they still have no true scientific name. imagine that. 
Eventually, the fish we all know of as Green terrors will have its own true scientific name and maybe even a new common name. whenever i talk about this fish i will usually call it Aequidens sp. "Gold Saum" or "Silver Saum" depending on which variety im talking about.

Lol, is it just me, or do all Green Terror discussions end up going to the saum issue?
AkidoGuy is right, but a green terror is whatever fish you call it. Technically, no, its not the real deal, but it can keep the same common name. There's no confusion because you dont see the real A. rivulatus in the hobby.
Also, nice GT Thorin!
Here's my GT:

This is an older pic though, mine looks a lot like Thorin's.

I wanted a GT one with the white saum and one with a orange saum but decided not to. I also saw a site where they sell wild GT or so they say they dont look the same as the ones at the store though not as colorful with the green and blue and with the saum. But I didnt get it cause it was like 40 dollars starting off for shipping.
wild TRUE green terrors havent been collected by anyone in over a decade. Sobecarefull what they tell you. 
ill try to find the pic of it. Im not very good at judgeing when it come to anything but oscars, Jags and Sailfin pleco (gibbiceps)
Found the pic its not a full body shot though. It says wild Green Terrors for sale but they are currently out of stock. Not like I could get it out of tank space. Need a bigger tank where I stand now so it would wait either way.
Oh yeah and about breeding your cat with a tiger it wouldnt go well for your cat it would get squashed. You know they breed a lion with a siberian tiger. I forgot how it is but if the lion is a male and the tiger is female you get either a liger or a tion and same visa versa just that one way the baby grows to be a dwarf cat and the other way makes this enormous cat they had one on tv and still a baby it was over 6' tall standing on hind qaurters it was still drinking from a bottle.
