2 1/2 inch only, just bought in three days ago..now looking for java moss to attached on the driftwood, very active eat alot too, will update soon once i done my java moss driftwood. you're GT look awesome, coloration is far better than mine. 
Well mine is a bit bigger so Im sure your GT will get more colorful as he grows. Congrats on the purchase! That driftwood is really cool.
still need to learn alot from you guys. ur setup was just amazing. give me some advice and ideas anytime. thanks so much, highly appreciate.
Your first pic is definitely a male...he is beginning to get a nice hump and his dorsal fins are pointy...
Make sure you do regular water changes and you will start seeing the results.
I have a breeding pair and this is what I feed....
1) DIY food 2) Hikari Bio Gold 3) Ocean Free Pellets 4) Earthworms 5) Freeze dried worms 6) Prawns

thanks so much for your advice, mate. how to make it grow nice hump anyway? is it about food i feed or?
Continue with Hikari , once in a week try live food like earthworm and shrimps.
Feed them with a protien rich diet , that usually does the trick ....I guess eartworms have around 52% of protien....make sure you feed them occassionally.
Good luck !!!!

I do not think it is really the environment necessarily, I think it is primarily more of a genetic factor. Maybe the environment could help stimulate the trait somewhat, but I doing it is to a large extent. Again I have not ever had one with a nuchal hump, only my one and a half inch (including tail) Green Terror did while trying to pair with another fish. Even my nine and a half inch Green Terror did not exhibit a nuchal hump, and he was part of a breeding pair. His mate was six and a half inches. So what I am trying to convey is the adult male of a breeding pair did not even posses this trait, but my one and a half inch little baby Green Terror did possess this trait but it only became apparent while spawning. The age seems to be irrelevant, so I really do believe it is primarily more of genetic factor in which a particular strain of Green Terror exhibits this trait. I hope this information helps! Beautiful Green Terror by the way; Green Terrors really are cool cichlids!
