NO that's a Uropthalmus. They're similar in appearance but the spot on the tail is a smaller spot only on the upper half of the tail on the RT. They also have a more washed-out coloration than Festae. That's a cool fish though, be prepared for a mean, nasty, fish killing but awesome pet.
*edit* looks like a male but can't be sure.

well dang it, i was hoping for a real RT, so how well do you think this will get along with my 3" GT? the GT is a female BTW
what size tank and what's the decore?
all fish are different but if they can have their own spots then all should be fine, might even pr up.
once you see locking though either seperate or place a divider in...

right now since they are small i have them in a 25t, with a live amazon sword and some drift wood. i plan to go to a 55g when they get a lil bigger. but the GT has about 1.5" on the RT...
Festae or Uro, they both can be TERRORS.
with good feeding and care, the 25 probably wont last long especially being tall instead of wide or long. 55 should be nice as long as they get along.

The cichlasoma Uropthalmus's common name is the mayan cichlid or false red terror as some say. They don't mix well with many other cichlids and will soon be handing your GT his as$. It's going grow about 12" and need a bigger tank than a 55.
well i know the green terror has been in there for about 4 months already and has doubled in size, but ive had the Uro in there for about 1 month and hanst grown much at all. hopefully it works out, if not guess ill trade th Uro in eventually...
