Someone who keeps Green Terrors, how large do they really get as adults?
Internet sources and LFS "experts" tell me anything from 8 to 12 or more
inches -- I want to put two in a 55, but if they're gonna get too large
I don't want to - - -thanks in advance

I have one and he is a pain in the arce. He bullies all the other fish in
the tank. He is 3 1/2 years old and about 11 inches long. He is back in
the tank now after a 2 week seperation with an oscar, a convict cichlid, and
a large pl*co. I had hoped he would get nicer, but he only got meaner. My
husband said he is going to make fillets out of him and I am just about
ready to let him do it. He used to get along fine with them in a 40 gallon,
but then I thought I would be nice and give them a 100 gallon tank. Now he
is really mean.

True rivulatus ?

I haven't had or seen anyone have a true rivulatus long enough to say
max sizes - but I've seen a few around 10"



or

A.rivulatus "cf" ? the normal local fish store "green terrors"

I've seen "green terror": males be anywhere from 8-12" and females be
from 6-10" (sizes in Total length)

Maybe the size difference is due to their wide wild range or the way
they're bred in captivity ,both ? - not sure.
