Gold Saum Green Terror (Andinoacara rivulatus ‘gold saum’)

$29.99

The Gold Saum Green Terror (Andinoacara rivulatus), with its brilliant green body coloration and high contrast orange fins, has been a hobby classic for decades – and the wild form of this fish is the “original” version of 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.
