white saum green terror

The White or Silver Saum variant of Green Terror (Andinoacara rivulatus), once thought to be a distinct species, is now considered to be a naturally occurring color morph of the original Green Terror. Found throughout the coastal regions of Ecuador and Northern Peru, these fish are found in a wide variety of freshwater habitats. Territorial and aggressive, these vibrantly colored cichlids make impressive specimens for appropriately large aquariums, but tankmates should be chosen carefully. Wild collected specimens are uncommon in the trade and often display brighter coloration than the more commonly seen tank bred specimens.
