Buy Green Terror Cichlids

With their vivid emerald green and white patterning, imposing size, and feisty personality, green terror cichlids live up to their common name in captivity if not properly cared for. Native to river basins along the Pacific coast of Peru and Ecuador, green terrors inhabit tropical waters where they can grow up to 12 inches long. While juveniles make lively additions to community tanks, their eventual size and notoriously aggressive temperament demand large aquariums a minimum of 55 gallons and experienced keepers.

Providing ample territory, tankmate compatibility, suitable water conditions, and a varied diet are keys to successfully keeping the green terror. Their stunning colors, attentive parental care, and fiery character fascinate aquarists dedicated to bringing out their best nature. When properly maintained, green terrors showcase just how enthralling, engaging, and downright beautiful so-called monster cichlids can be.
