Posted	A little Help
24-07-2006 12:14 by steve mc	Can anybody give hand with identifying these cichlids. They appear to be from the same family as a green terror but they have brighter markings (orange). If anybody does know what they are do they know what there breeding habbits are as they are pairing up!
24-07-2006 12:16 by steve mc	here are the pics
24-07-2006 12:17 by steve mc	cheers for the help
24-07-2006 12:18 by keith t	look like blue acaras to me
24-07-2006 12:23 by Malawimad	Blue acara's grow to a max of 6" (15cm), These look larger than that......... But Keith could be right........ Someone on here will tell u for sure!!!
24-07-2006 12:25 by steve mc	They are approximately eight inches at a guess
24-07-2006 12:29 by Malawimad	They are big acaras then if thats what they are, I doubt it if there that size...i think max for an acara is 6", but i could be wrong!!
24-07-2006 12:50 by Lexter	Green Terror? not sure though
24-07-2006 13:09 by -Rob C-	I would say green terror to
24-07-2006 13:13 by Lexter	sorry it already says you think Green Terror Steve MC, maybe just a nice looking one or a slight hybird? can Green Terror cross breed with Blue Acara???? maybe that happened
24-07-2006 13:34 by darren	Steve, 100% Green Terror,Aiquidens Rivulatus Fantastic fish mate,what you got em in with and what size tank as they are quite aggressive when they pair up If you don't take to em i'll give em a good home
24-07-2006 13:38 by Malawimad	This is a pic of a wild green terror, They are many differences at the side of yours, I dont think its 100% green terror, i think lex is right, Its a hybrid of some kind!!!
24-07-2006 13:39 by Malawimad	Wont let me load it..........dam!!!!
24-07-2006 13:43 by steve mc	They are in a 4x2x2.5 at the moment in with other chichlids and a plec but i will transfering them into 300l and see if they breed. Does anybody know what breeding characteristics they have and what type of parents they make?
24-07-2006 13:44 by Malawimad	Other cichlids? What cichlids Steve ?
24-07-2006 13:53 by darren	Ther are differences between green terrors,yours are "gold saum" the real green terrors are "silver saum" Personally i prefer the gold saum They make excellent parents Steve and will fend off any other fish comming within range of the fry
24-07-2006 13:54 by steve mc	Different african. Ignore the arrowana he's now in a six footer.

24-07-2006 13:58 by darren	Nice tank Steve, They need different water to your Africans by the way and if you keep the PH at about 7.0 they will show much better colour
24-07-2006 13:58 by steve mc	The pic with the arrowana won't load anyway.
24-07-2006 14:04 by von	As Darren said, definately gold saums, they will get very aggressive when they spawn, i wouldn't keep them with the africans, they will destroy those plants if that's the tank you have them in
24-07-2006 14:04 by steve mc	Whats the chances of the fry making it in the big tank or do you think the other fish will have them?
24-07-2006 14:06 by steve mc	That was the tank a little while back. As von commented the smaller plants haven't lasted!
24-07-2006 14:07 by von	If they have stacks of places to hide you might be lucky and save a couple but not likely. Do you have a small tank you could rear them in?
24-07-2006 14:08 by darren
24-07-2006 14:09 by steve mc	I've got a 300l that i used for the mbu when it was a baby that i use to grow on fish before they go in the big tank
24-07-2006 14:11 by darren	Your not lettin me have em then Steve
24-07-2006 14:11 by darren	Just right mate
24-07-2006 14:13 by steve mc	The only prob is that is running on a xp3 filter. is that going to be to much in the way of filtration. I don't want to find the fry in the filter!
24-07-2006 14:14 by steve mc	Nah iam quite attached sorry mate
24-07-2006 14:56 by von	Get a small internal and put a fine net over it with an elastic band or get a cheap sponge filter or 2, water changes will be really important and watch the filter doesn't get blocked if you do cover it with netting.
24-07-2006 18:12 by kevin george	they are green terrors like lex said
24-07-2006 18:13 by kevin george	i had a pair of large terrors and thats what they look like
24-07-2006 18:56 by Caz	Your fish are Green Terrors which used to be known and sold as Gold Saums. Have a look via this link and see: http://www.cichlidmadness.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=347
25-07-2006 17:12 by steve mc	cheers people
