They're the pics of the 2 beauts.
Can someone tell me what they are?
 
Those are Aequidens Rivulatus, gold saum, Green terrors. Very aggressive little guys who require at least a 55g tank to themselves, but housing two green terrors together is a recipe for blood. Green terrors get about 8". Please PM me if you have and Q's about these guys etc.
 
Ahh thanks. I was told they were Green Terrors, Gold Saums. Not sure weather they are true Gt's Or Saums. Someone also said the lighter of the two was an Acura. I was just curious. Do they look healthy? Ive had them for 3 days now.

Fairly healthy, but need some better food and clean water. They look pale. A good diet would be any hikari cichlid pellet small enough for them and maybe some carnivore pellets and bloodworms every now and then. A neutral pH and a temp of 80f will keep them healthy. They are Saums.

I thought they were blue acaras
 
I feed them NewEra South american cichlid pellets atm. My LFS is ordering me some Hikari gold in. I feed them bloodworms every 2 days. When will mine grow the blue and the gold trim?
