The Green Terror (Aequidens rivulatus) is a visually striking cichlid species that is relatively easy to care for. It features vibrant colors and can grow up to 10 inches in size, requiring a spacious aquarium as it matures. With a deep body, prominent forehead, and red accents on the caudal fin, this fish stands out. Adult males develop a forehead hump, further enhancing their appearance.Captive-bred Green Terrors readily accept a variety of foods and are often recommended for beginner cichlid enthusiasts. However, they can become territorial, especially during spawning with their own species.While they can thrive in planted aquariums to some extent, Green Terrors are active foragers that dig through the substrate in search of food. They are not typically predators but may eat small fish if given the opportunity. It's best to house them with larger fish like Oscars, Severums, Geophagus, or similar-sized species.Green Terrors prefer water conditions with a pH range of 7.5-8.5 and a temperature between 78-84 degrees Fahrenheitard water.
