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:
“Prostitution is the most hideous of the afflictions produced by the unequal distribution of the world’s goods; this infamy stigmatizes the human species and bears witness against the social organization far more than does crime.”
—Flora Tristan (1803–1844)
