Hello all,

when I first bought him 2 months ago I was told he was a Green Terror, then I post pics of my fish

on another board and some said he was a GT and some others said he was a Blue Acara, and then some

said he was a hybrid, but I would really like to know what he is and his max size as he is in with

and Oscar so if he is just a small guy then he will have to be traded in to something bigger,

thanks in advance heres the pic:

EDIT: I forgot to add that he is about 3"s TL...

I just don't have enough

experience with these types of fish to make a claim, but I am sure others will chime in.

My bet is blue acara.

Like any gambler, ready to lose my bet.

I'ts not a Green Terror, but some other kind of Aequidens, Looks

like it may be a smaller, less agressive species like the blue acara.

not every fish looks

just like another of the same sp.

a lot of time it will not look like pictures you will

find online.

wait till it grows a bit more you will know for sure.


but

dose look mostly like blue acara like they said above.

Acara to me too.

I too would place my bet on

"Aequidens pulcher".
