Nice GT mate!koltsix;4723182; said:
The GT your talking about with the white tipping on fins! is the same as the 1 i was talking about! Also known as Silverseam Aequidens!!
I know what your talking about the True Green Terror it has white tipped fins and it scale pattern is the reverse of the Gold Saum. However there is a color variation of the Gold Saum with white tipped fins sometimes referred to as Silver/White Saum. Breeding of 2 Gold Saums produces this color variation on occasion. Sometimes one or all the fry have the white tipped fins. Several members have bred Gold Saums and got Silver/White Saums. As matter of fact one documented the fry till they reached around 6 inches and was trying to breed more Silver/White Saum's by breeding his grow outs as he finds them more attractive than the regular Saum's, but prfers the body shape of a Gold Saum than a True Green Terror. That's why I said there is also a variation of Gold Saums called White Saums. I wasn't disputing the fact that there is a True Green Terror and it is sometimes referred to as White Saum.
Got you B" I Know whot your talking about! i still like the Aequidens Rivulatus" with those awsome orange tippings on its fins!koltsix;4723260; said:
Heres my 10" Goldsaum. Also the 4th pic is my newly acquired 3" juvie silversaum. The last pic is a random pic of the True Green Terror.
These are all really nice looking fish, I don't have any pics on this computer to contribute but I'll try to get some new shots of mine later tonight.
Cich where did you get the White? I can't find any around here and I've been looking for a while.
I don't care how many threads like this there are, a good looking GT is IMO one of the best looking cichlids in the world.

I randomly found it at a petland discounts store in NYC. Ive been looking for one for a long time and finally stumbled upon this one. He or she (although im leaning towards a she) was about 3 inches when I got her. A little more than I wanted to pay @ $18 but I figured if Ive been looking for this long, im not letting this one go. Was the only one in the tank. If I see another one ill let you know. Im always in all the petlands checking their stock.

Thanks, I would have dropped 18 for it considering how hard they are to come by. Let me know if you see any more.
