Is there a difference between a green terror and gold saum? Or just a different way people name the fish

Same fish I think honestly there was at one point a huge discussion about it but I think when it boils down to it there the same I was just taught when I was young that was a gold saum so its habit for me to call it that lol

Make sure you hang onto that little guy he's awesome quality. 2-3 years and you'll have a beautifull looking fish with good food and plenty of water changes.
