Well I should say that I am certain your Green Terror is a female. ;)

there are actually 4 different terrors there ig i coulda orginized it and numbered em the 1st and 4th one r the same the 2nd and 3rd are the same and the bottum 2 are the same....and you say ur certain its a female is that infact the last pic ? and i am tryen to pair em up so if u could help conferm that i have a male in the batch along with the female u say then ill be good to go appriciate the help guys
 
i thought they were all one fish because cant really see the other ones except a few

the ones in 2nd, 3rd pics and the last 2 pics are females to me..


gl. feed the hell out of them. Live worms frm lfs and fbw are the best
 
They all look female to me probably except the one with a bigger orange lining on its dorsal and tail fin.
 
sounds like i might have to let these puppies grow tilll they mature a lil more appriciate the help tho right now ive just been feeding them hikari cichlid gold ive tried to feed em krill but the biggest one seems to not want to share with the others and occassianal bloodworms and algea wafers im a lil new at this so im not too familiar with all the abbreviations

Do you have any more pictures? Some of the pictures tend to not be very clear and some are not very close. However considering the photos that are posted, they all appear to be female. Another important question is how big are the Green Terrors? One of the major indicators is usually the males are much more vibrant, but there are many other indicators that influence my decision. Some people may say that a person can not really identify the gender when they are small, but identifying the gender is usually not too difficult with more trained experience. The last photo is a little more colorful, but the fish still seems to lack the luster in which a male tends to exhibit. More pictures will certainly be helpful though, especially closer and clearer. :) I hope this helps!
