Blue Acara or Green Terror?

[viperbot]

Hello all,

This is my first post as I just signed up...yipee! I was wondering if I could get this this guy identified. Not really getting a straight answer elsewhere so I thought I would ask here. Im unsure of the species and sex of this cichlid. I ordered a Blue Acara and I thought it was with the black bar running from the eye to the gills and lack of orange edge to the fins but Im still a little unsure as I know there are terrors out there with this fin coloration, think they are called either gold or silver saums. Is that what this is or is it a blue acara? Thanks in advance...

Looks like a GT. Acaras tend to have a black "tear drop" under their eyes.

thats a gt. acaras have more of a light black lateral stripe from the eye to the area where that black spot is on your fish.

Actually looking at the second pic could be a Gold Saum....either way....it looks to me like a baby Female Green Terror...deffo not a Blue Acara.
