| This fish was first imported in the U.S. in 1972 and is the first and only true "Green Terror". On the other hand, 'Aequidens' sp. "Goldsaum" is commonly labeled as "Green Terror" in shops across North America, it is not. See Alf Stalsberg site for more information http://www.lem.net/alf/css-andinoacara.htm |
