Blue Acara or Green Terror?

[ash49yzk]

Hi i recently bought what i thought was a blue acara but i am unsure now and think it could possibly be a green terror as i believe it has killed 1 of my female Kribensis (seen it thrashing it about in its mouth) and 2 dwarf peacock cichlids (disappeared completely from the tank separately within 2 days).

I thought green terrors had a more prominent orange on the tail and this one has a faint orange so thats whats throwing me off.

Looks like a green terror to me. Their orange in the tail can fade but will come back. Do you have a better side shot by chance?

Looks like a sub adult or young GT. This pic is taken from another forum with same question this is a confirmed GT. Looks very similar to your picture

I'm going to be that guy. GT and Blue Acara are known to hybridize and I've seen some funky fish floating around lately labeled as Blue Acara that just weren't right. Looking at this fish I would lean more towards Acara than GT but I think there is a good chance that GT has been introduced into the line at some point.

Hybrid it is then lol

I'll wait for a second picture before changing my mind. The only thing making me second guess it being a gt is the few spangles I see on the body. I can't go off head shape because of the way the picture was taken.
In a way it would be funny if it did turn out to be a mix. Lol
