What is the max size for a male and Female GT? I've heard many different things from 6"-13". Thanks.
Green Terror Size
- Thread starter GT3050
- Start date
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.

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?
