Help sexing my false green terrors please

[greenterra]

GT is a GT, no true or false. True means wild, then if thats the case alot of the aquarium fish we keep are false as well. False RTCs, False Aros, False PBass, False Oscars and so on.

i knew that.. thought he was referring to them as blue acaras

lol. True/false has nothing to do with being wild or not and nothing to do with Blue acaras.
The Aquidens 'sp' gold and silver saum were often referred to as the false GT as they are not the fish originally described but another which came onto the market in its place.

This link has the best info that I have yet to come across explaining the difference. There is also a thread somewhere that used to be a sticky explaining it all.

i have a male gt about 10" wild looks just like your male but i've never heard of true or false. and if true means wild then most all fish are false & cons are not even fish at all.

gold saum, silver saum, and rivulatus (silbersaum) are all referred to as green terror. silbersaum was the original fish and was originally classified with the others from what I understand. True or false is not a good description for any of the three.

They both come from pretty much the same area but they just have different nicknames?
