IS IT TRUE?

[Aquaguy]

HI all
I just recieved two of these little Green Terrors from Aquascapeonline.com http://www.aquascapeonline.com/prodView.asp?idproduct=250&item=Green Terror Cichlid 2. I've heard alot about some GT's not being ''True" G.T.'s. Are these ''true'' Green terrors that aquascape is selling or what type are they? thanks in advance

No, those are gold suams. the true ones are white suams, and they have a white strip on the edge of their fins instead of the orange, or so i believe. I was hunting for them a couple years ago i can't be sure. someone correct me if I'm wrong.

^ not always true, the ones with the white edge can very well be a silver saum, just a different variation of the gold saum. this is what a true green terror looks like:

and here's a silver saum

distinct differences between either of the saum types and the true GT.
