A South American cichlid, the Green Terror is a colorful fish that reaches lengths of around 9". As the name implies this species can be very aggressive, especially adult specimens. This is not guaranteed, however, and peaceful individuals are often observed. Juvenile Green Terrors are often sold in pet shops, as well as fish similar enough to be mistaken for this species (including the Blue Acara).
