True Green Terrors (Aequidens rivulatus) F1 fry

[Acestro]

Thanks man!

I'm finding out the confusion with this species is even deeper! Aequidens rivulatus is yet another species. These fish are the true green terrors (but not the true rivulatus). Insane. Anyhow, if you're looking for the fish that earned the name 'green terror' in the 1970s and 1980s, this is it. :laugh: Silly taxonomy.

New shots of the male (which may just help make up your mind if you're unsure about getting some )

Bumpage...

also, I cant edit the title, but technically these are not A. rivulatus. But they did carry that name previously, AND these are absolutely the terrors of the 70s and 80s. Just a taxonomic sidenote.

There's the original true green terrors (these fish, rare in the hobby, the ones that earned the name 'terror'), sometimes called silbersaum

the saums (gold usually, but there's a silver 'morph'/'variety'/species?)

and there's A. rivulatus, another fish similar to the TGT.

wow, this is the first time i've seen this thread. I've seen some GT in the LFS's around here, but nothing that handsome. Probably the other species you were talking about.

I think i might be interested, but i'm home on disability and not bringing in huge amounts of cash.. lol. i'm going to show the old man, and talk about setting up another tank. wish me luck..
