I was told this was a blue acara and I'm pretty sure it is, but I saw a green terror in the store today and it looked a lot like my guy.

Blue Acara and an extermely good lookin' one at that. If it were a GT the tear drop would not be under the eye but next to it gill side. Nice pick up!

They're in the same place on both species, generally leading down from the base of the eye to the operculum.

agreed. on a GT it isnt always visible like on an acara.
 
That is a blue for sure
 
Okay your entitled to your opinions - First Pic Juvi Blue Acara, Second pic Juvi GT Gold Saum.................tear drops are not in the same location.

I wiil say this tho his fish's tear drop is really close in locatation to that of a green terror but it maybe due to the picture being non-3 demensional.
