Keeping Green Terror Cichlid in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 75 gallons (280 liters) for a single specimen, larger for a pair or community
• Compatibility: Best kept with other large, robust, and similarly aggressive cichlids or large, fast-moving fish that can withstand their territoriality. Not suitable for community tanks with smaller or docile species.
• Special requirements: Requires a spacious aquarium with plenty of hiding places formed by rocks, caves, and driftwood. Substrate should be sand or fine gravel as they enjoy digging. Excellent filtration is crucial due to their messy eating habits and waste production. Regular large water changes are essential to maintain water quality.
