I got him a few months ago. It was labeled as a Green Terror, but as he gets bigger, the more I'm unsure if he's an acara. Also not sure if male or female.

100% Gold Saum. As for gender, I'd say female (based on exaggerated bearding and limited coloration). However, it's still a bit small to sex with certainty.

Of course it's an acara ... as to which specific acara, I agree with what's called a gold saum.
 
The genus for green terror, is Andinoacara,
Andinoacara pulcher is the Blue Acara, close cousin, so what Darth Pike alluded to is true, it is an acara, just one from west of the Andes mountains (whereas the blue Acara) comes originally from Trinidad and Venezuela.
Here is another, Andinoacara coeruleopunctuates, the only Andinoacara found in Central America.
