Green terror or White saum?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Sounds about right she keeps chasing my male rtm hahaha
Not sure if they can even breed
 
Same thing just made up names for Rivulatus which your fish is.
+1... There are A. rivulatus with white fin edges and rivulatus with gold/orange edged fins, currently classified as the same fish-- from Ecuador. Another fish, A. stalsbergi from Peru, is similar, but much less common and also has white edged fins. So, white fin edges are not the distinguishing feature, the obvious distinguishing feature is a different color pattern on the scales of stalsbergi.

I believe the question was meant to be whether it is a white rivulatus or a stalsbergi.
And to me this one appears to be rivulatus.

Ok so female rivulatus. Can she breed with the male rtm? Has that ever been done . Or is that a bad idea and should i seperate them. They are always around each other

Not likely to interbreed, more likely the RTM will kill her eventually.

Edit: I’ve never heard of that specific cross, but given where the 2 species are from its highly unlikely nigh impossible.
