Im looking for some Secrets, Tips, and Strong Suggestions for Green Terror Maitenance, Feeding, and Overall upkeep. I see alot of nice Green Terrors out there and Would like to know what are some of your guys secrets. What do some of you do to bring out color, size, attitude, the hump, etc......... thanks.:popcorn:
 
Good water and good food with plenty of variety and enough vegetable matter in it. Also enough space, and if it is a male GT, then he should be the dominant fish in the tank to show best colour and get the largest hump.
 
i agree, water qaulity, varity food helps. Just remember not all males get the "hump" Genatics have a part on the color and hump ;)
 
As above, i find them easy to look after and fast growing :) mine i got in July at 1.5" is around 5.5" now :)
 
Give them a good staple pellet like NLS, hikari gold and krill.
 
thanks ppl. I also made this thread to also give other an idea as well.
 
+1 on the Dominant male. I had another GT that was always dark and lacked everything. Even at 5 inches it lacked any type of trailers. I gave it to my sister in law and he now shows great colors and started growing trailers recently. Now at 5.5 - 6 inches. The GT in my avatar is about 8 inches now and about 1.5 - 1.75 inches thick. Hump comes and does as there is no other fish challenging his manhood. Oh and Hikari Bio-Gold+ is the way to go as a staple.
