Green Terror - Compatibility With Other Cichlid Species

Compatibility With Other Cichlid Species

The inherent aggressiveness of Green Terror cichlids make them ideal for aquarists who wish to add variety to their cichlid aqaurium. With the exception of fully mature P. Dovii (wolf cichlid) and P. Managuense (jaquar cichlid), who rarely cohabit peacefully, Green Terrors are cunning enough to survive—and even thrive—with larger cichlids. However, as a rule, a predating cichlid is capable of consuming any animal whose dimensions are inferior to that of the predating cichlid's fully expanded jaw. Green terrors of appropriate size can often be assimilated with A. ocellatus (ocsar cichlid), R. octofasciata (Jack Dempsey cichlid), A. citrinellus (midas cichlid), T. meeki (firemouth cichlid) flowerhorns (no scientific designation), smaller P. managuense (jaquar cichlid) and P. dovii (wolf cichlid) and other similarly aggressive cichlids.

Famous quotes containing the word species:

    The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of intelligence.
    Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
