im getting an order from cihlaholic.com ,and was wondering if
AEQUIDENS RIVULATUS " ECUADOR" is a true green terror​
 
Hi, the true rivulatus is from Ecuador, not Peru. Günther described the rivulatus from rio esmeralda. The other species called saums and suams Its discovered after, and this species still must to be described.
 
ask for a pic of them if they are the true green terror, they dont have orange on their fins.

That will be a 'suam' as we know it in the trade.

I am aware that a description for Aequidens rivulatus used an Ecuador-collected sample.

However, the 'true rivulatus' as we know it in the trade IS the smaller, faster and more aggressive riverine species found in the highlands north of Lima.
