I was watching the sassy black convict in the background! Such a character lol
Haha yep. We actually have a video coming out tomorrow on that convict. Crazy how they hold their own with larger fish
There will always be entertainment with a Convict in the tank 😂
My two tiny convicts who just started breeding fight off my full size Oscar lol. Idk why he dosent just eat then
Thanks, I finally figured out that this is one of my fish! And you telling me all about him makes me so happy! I bought him from a randomly found fish store and they didn't speak English. So, I didn't even know what I had. Thought I had an South American Cichlid. I love him even more now that I know more about him. Thanks so much!
One of the best gt vids ive seen good work!
Stunning colors! All my tanks are full but I am putting him in my wish list after seeing this video. Quality info as always Bros!

Love your guys video, I follow you from Australia

I had a white tipped GT. Your gold saum is amazing especially his yellow finage not to be confused with the orange fin tips
Thank you!
A lot of times, if a fish is being bullied by other fish, this can stunt their growth too. When you purchased this fish, you removed him from “torture” and gave him a new, comfortable life, so the overall health of a fish becomes greatly visible and improved and they will tend to grow faster. I had most fish in my freshwater hobby days, back in the ‘80’s and learned a lot. I had perfect clear water in my tanks, just by doing regular water changes, replacing 25% - 30% water changes, vacuuming the gravel every few weeks and adding a couple of drops of ick killer to keep any chances of bacteria from attacking my fish and everything stayed perfect. We have mild chlorine in our water here and to me, this helps to kill water born bacteria in the aquarium when doing regular water changes. There’s so many people that go crazy about water quality with testing kits and everything, I think it’s all unnecessary for freshwater aquariums, unless you live somewhere with terrible tap water.
I recently bought a green terror about a week ago. He's a out 3 inches big and I have him in a 65 gallon tank. Whenever he sees me he swims up to me to say hello. ❤
How is he doing?
Beautiful green terror
Very nice colors!
Thanks!
What a beautiful fish!
Great video! You got yourself a new subscriber! ✊💪👌
Thomas Dobbins thank you! Really appreciate it
@@CichlidBros of course!! Keep it up 👌
Loved your green terror i have brought 2 today hope they look like yours someday 🥳

@@samahelmasri2489 . I have one. I feed shrimp. Colour is vibrant.
One of my favorite fish!! ♥️
Nice video 👍😊 thank you
Thank you and you’re welcome!
I Really want one ! Love green terrors.
AliiTheFishkeeper they are the best!
The T-bar ( sajica ) cichlid also gets and has the hump. Love my t-bar
Very beautiful looking fish. I love his color patterns. 👍
Thank you!
I'''m getting a few of these gems.....great video
Awesome. Thank you!
I used to have a very similar 100 gallon with 2 large managuense, 1 large tiger oscar, 2 buttikoferi, 1 male and 1 female Jack Dempsey and large clown loaches.
Great video and explanations! I would like to ask for some help. Can I set up a 150 liter aquarium with 3 green terror? Sump full of media and other filters.
The centerpiece 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
beautiful fish ... i had one of these about 10 years ago with a oscar, severums ,convicts etc and he was a delight to keep
Lee and Mandy Battersby thanks! Sounds like an awesome tank
Get another one!
i think i will
Amazing video
Thank you!
Beautiful fish
Thumbs up nice job I've just got some stalsbergi true green terror's
I also have a wc male White Saums
COOPER'S CICHILDS thanks again! Much appreciated
Great content! In Indonesia we call it GOLSOM :D
Sick 💯
I love this tank all the cichlids are amazing
Thank you!
I love my green terror saved him when he was little now he has Seinfeld mated with my electric blue acara lots of fry about 2 weeks in
What do the fry look like?
beautiful
Yes, gotta look for the colors on the tips of fins when trying to find a male green terror.
They develop and awesome personality and its so cool when they flare up and get all big looking at you when you look in the tank real close!
Feeding the frozen cubes of blood worms and shrimp really make them cool.
A green terror shouldn’t get that big of a hump.
Yours looks perfect. And looks like its acting perfect too
I had mine in a 90 gallon tank.
I would run tank temp in the low 80’s. And all my fish loved it. They would grow like crazy! I would trade with the local fish store.
Had a wicked orange Pike Cichlid!!! That thing was bad ass!
I just purchased 3 on my channel to grow out! Beautiful Fish
Very nice! I’ll check it out
Just subscribed. That green terror is gorgeous and so active. I didnt know they have so much colors. Also what kind of fish was the greenish blue one to swimming around him? It look like a green terror too... it's also gorgeous.
Time of fish was 3:44 almost turquoise looking... and at 5:51 pls let me know.
Theolo Maximus thank you! Really appreciate it. That’s our male Jack Dempsey. He has some great color for a JD 👍🏻
I gotta get back into cichlids great fish.
Za Fish Guy they’re pretty great, we’d recommend 👍🏻
I bought similar species last week.... After seeing your terror... I'm waiting to check mine whether would grow and glow similarly like yours... Thanks for giving me a hope..
Awesome! Best of luck with yours 👍🏻
@@CichlidBros Thank you
Good to see u r vedios bro
Harish aqua room thanks!
That is a beauty
Thank you!
HI, can you explain best method to put new fish in aquariums, my oscar, parrot always attack to new fish and get injured even if I put large size (I added 2 green terror) that was attacked by them. pls explain
Very nice! I just got 2 of them along with a electric blue jack Dempsey. Pretty sure o have a male and female. Hope they breed.
Thanks! Sounds like a great set up - best of luck
When are you able to determine whether it is a white or gold saum
Awesome fish!!,I just dove into the cichlid world from saltwater..I turned my 250 gallon cube into an awesome fake planted and drift wood aquascape .I also used all my old live rock.Looks pretty cool..I jusr got 2 green terrors ,a long fin albino oscar ,2 firemouths,2 frontosa's and 2 gold severums ..All were about an inch and from what i can tell from the last month is my green terrors and oscar are growing the fastest ,I feed strictly NLS thera+A pellets...I'm really loving cichlids ...
Thanks! Sounds like an awesome set up 👌🏻
They're in the same tank?
@@nfernooo Yep,still doing great .They all grew up together and still tolerate each other ..
@@feedthemachine99 I wanted to do something like this and figured grow them out young and together.
I wanted an albino Oscar, green terror, red terror, severum of some sort, and a fronosa. Just one of each though. But red terrors can be hard I'm told.
I'd love to see a picture of your guys somehow
Can you keep a green terror with a Severum in a 75 gallon tank? Or is that too small?
Agressif and beautifull cichlid fish.
That Green Terror is great, but man I love that Salvini
Joker is awesome !!
Thank you!
Hi thank you for the advise really helps but I was wondering if you could help me with my problem, my green terror has lost all its colour and gone really white with a few black markings here and there and his face has gone a red ish colour I don't know if that's normal or somethings wrong and I hope someone can help me with this please
Hello. What lights do you use for this tank? 😊
At 2:06 where did you get and the name of those wood decor
I got my grreen about 4 years ago , it was one quarter of a inche small . Right now is 4” big .. how do we know if is male or female
When did your green terror gain its colors? I’ve had mine for about two weeks and it kind of sticks to itself and I’ve never even seen him go for food with the group. (Hoping he’s getting the pellets after they hit the substrate.)
i am feeding my green terror chicken heart daily..is it good for their growth and colour?
I just got a Green terror, that is about 3 inches, but his fins are white. The pet store owner told me that he would grow up to look like the gold saums hes has. Did he lie to me or do the orange fins just take a while to develop
From the south-occidental rivers of Ecuador.
very good marking, what do u feeding for it?
Thanks! Pellets and flakes from Xtreme, and some frozen brine shrimp on occasion
What are you using for lighting ? I love how the Iridescent scales glow.
Thanks! He’s naturally a beautiful fish so that helps as well 👌🏻... the lighting is Current USA Satellite Plus - link is in the description if you need it
Cichlid Bros he is a stunning fish for sure. Thank you for you response
I just got one from pet supplies plus , man they have pretty cool fish and I'm not sponsored, the only problem is that seems sometimes they don't care about the fish
Mine is still juvenile and doesn't show that much of color , will see 🙈
Wow, what pellets do feed him? My new male GT is a finicky eater and would love to know so he hopefully look like yours!
These are my go to’s:
- Xtreme Big Fella Pellets - bit.ly/3c5f4c3
- Xtreme PeeWee Pellets - bit.ly/3vJRcSR
@@CichlidBros thank you!
Just curious what software do you use to edit your videos?
I currently use Movavi but have considered upgrading soon
Thank you
I had a green terror about 33 years ago and he was full grown and he was beautiful just like that one they are beautiful when they get that size the males but I haven't had any luck as of late had one passed away in the water qualities were perfect I just don't know what happened
Sorry to hear. Hopefully your luck changes and you can get another great GT. Thanks for watching!
I feel like I have watched this video before or a similar video.
Anyway, I can honestly say that this is a fantastic video and he looks amazing.
Have a great week and stay safe.
#Like 105.
Thank you - really appreciate that!
@@CichlidBros My pleasure.
I miss my green terror.
Hi, will a green terror do well with a geophagus and bichir?
Should be fine with a bichir. Depends on the geophagus and the size. If the geo starts off larger, you'll find more luck over time
@@CichlidBros thank you👍🏻
I'm getting 4 dinosaur bichirs, and I will get one for these or a tank mate.
Very nice 👍🏻
Can someone help me? Can i put electric blue acara with ranchu goldfish and angelfish? I dont want the acara eating my goldfish...
Lets put everything else aside.. will them pick on my goldfish? I understood that electric blue acara is the least agresive fish from cichlids family
Thanks for the info do I need a bigger tank then if I have 4 severums 4 green terrors and 3 oscars in a 125?
Bought one of these dudes for like 6 bucks a few years back but seen someone trying to sell one for 100 recently
what do I give my green terror to have a big kok?
Wesley Francis it’s likely a combination of quality water parameters, food (recommend some frozen foods), and genetics of the fish. Some may grow faster if they’re showing dominance over other fish in the tank
Mine grew about the same i wonder if the other males pump them up n make them grow faster
Brandon Smalley-Phillips nice! I’ve heard that could definitely be a factor, when one dominant male usually grows faster than the group
Mines with a male Dempsey and electric blue acara male and hes growing like an Oscar
Brandon Smalley-Phillips yep, sounds like he grew quickly into being the tank boss
I hope so, my Dempsey just hit his terrible 2s
My Green terror is showing signs of internal parasites. Can provide any suggestions for treatment?
Hey there, sorry to hear. API general cure is a good option if you aren’t sure what internal issue it is. If it seems to be worms, Levamisole has been the best cure in my experience
@@CichlidBros thanks for the response im heading to the pet store now to see if I can find it. I'll let you know how it works out 😊
Nice video question how do you not get algae
Young Fish Aquatics thanks! I definitely still get algae, but just clean it out pretty often. Having the light on for less time usually helps the most
Cichlid Bros thanks in trying that on my 75 Oscar tank and getting a pleco tomorrow hopefully do you know if geofagus can go with gravel?
Young Fish Aquatics nice! Geos do best with sand substrate, as they’re always sifting through
Cichlid Bros ok thanks I have a Oscar f jack and giant danios so I was going to add a bristle pleco and some other cichlids maybe a convict or Picts catfish
My Green terror stay all the day running and hurting my Oscar, they have the same size, what can I do?
Sorry to hear! There are a few things you could try - adding more hiding spots and breaking line of sight, getting a bigger tank, or removing one of them. Good luck!
Can you raise a green terror and a Jack Dempsey together as juveniles? And if you could would they both have to be male or would it be one male and one female or both females?
Usually they are good tank mates since they are similar in size and aggression. As always, you could run into aggression issues. You can reduce this some by having a large tank with plenty of hiding spots. Males and females can both be aggressive. Really just depends on the individual fish!
Hello my friend can you keep Jaguar cichlid with tank mate?
Hey there, thanks for watching. They’re both aggressive so most of the time you’ll get some fighting. It can be done if the tank is large enough and there are plenty of hiding spots
@@CichlidBros I see thank you for the advice 👍 I sub
Jaguars are Vicious! My friend has one and he killed all his tank mate's, just a heads up
What's ideal tank size for GT.
75 gallon or larger for an adult
Gorgeous
ALLEN Dye thanks!
Which food are u giving to this chicild
Here you go! ruclips.net/video/JbXbggsWyBM/видео.html
5:38 on top left which fish is it
Giant danio
@@CichlidBros thanks bro
Yo Cichlcid Bro ! Awesome Gold Saum :D I've got a GORGEOUS gold saum female that would get some awesome babies with this handsome fella ! She's also a bit over a year old
Thank you! They’re awesome cichlids for sure
@@CichlidBros i have the female gold saum in with an oscar and Sénégal bichir in a 75 gallon tank. Think i could add à male gold saum ?
Can I use a pebble substrate?
That should be fine. I like the look of sand and it may be more like its natural environment, but they will do just fine with gravel
I heard that they can eat the pebbles on accident is that common with gravel, I am planning to get sand to mix with it before I get the fish but will they still be able to eat normally with pebble/gravel substrate. Also is their any way for me too put the sand in the water without having to take the water out and messing up the water? Sorry for asking I am new to this and I am exited
Help me on clearing my tank water
Cloudy green, cloudy white, or cloudy brown? How old is the tank?
Brad Simpson I finally got the tank clear. Now I am waiting for my 75 gallon to cycle. I now have 3 tanks. I started in June and now I think that’s it for now. My biggest tank is getting ready for my Tiger and Albino Oscar’s only.
Purple rose Queen also gets a kok
Is the one a Loisellei? I have a 2.5 inch one atm
Nice! I’d like to keep one at some point. The one I have is actually a Salvini
@@CichlidBros nice looking fish that Salvini. I have a Cuban as well
what temp is your tank at?
pj it’s typically at 78-79 degrees
I think my green Terror is a female. mine doesnt color up like yours. the orange is present but the body of mine isnt as colorful
Best cichlid ever ok so my GT had a huge bump on his forhead and he got it right after I would go to my back yard and dig out worms and feed it to my GT so head bump grew instantly while on that worm diet try it!
awesome. agreed - they are the best!
Did you clean the worms
