Green Terror in a 55?

Awesome girlfriend. Buy her a 125 in return.

You should be fine, I'd stick with the pictus rather then the poly.

you talking about a saum or a true green terror cuz true ones get smaller in size

Yeah she is awsome lol, shes not really into fish like I am though. I think its a true green terror, how would I tell when its 2 or 3 inches?

Ive only seen a GT 9 inches. Ive heard claims of bigger GTs but no proof to back it up, the 9 incher I saw was with a ruler. I dont believe any size unless its measured with a ruler. Some people have a tendency to exaggerate or they simply are very inaccurate.

You would know if it was a true green terror. Relatively rare (compared to the saums) in the hobby. Typically, if you buy it at a corprate store it will be a saum, buy it at a lfs and a true green terror will be much more expensive. There are some threads somewhere on here telling the difference between the two. Doesn't really mater if its true or not as long as you like the fish. Saums are better looking imho. Just about my favorite fish.

you won't find TGT's in fish stores, only from breeders on this website and assorted others. Tom lorenz is one (acestro). ESPmike is another. I've owned 21 in the past 2 years so i have pics if you need them.

definetly man!

I'd like to see the pics, I'll get mine as soon as my tank is cycled. Are there any other tank mates any one would suggest?
