Green Terror eating Feeder Fish

[DPalms309]

I have a green terror, bumblebee cichlid, jack demp, and a baby jack, and a few other semi aggressive fish (that are at least 4-7in) and they all do fine....except for the barbs i moved in because i didn't want to keep my 10 gallon....OOPS

[The0Burger0King]

My green terror is turning on the bueno's aries tetras I got with him. Found half of one a few days ago...

[HypnotizedCricket]

Hi can anyone tell me if my green terrors are true green terrors? come check my tank out and tell me what you think :D

[rob16889]

i have 6 convicts, 2 green terrors, and one jack dempsey. they all get along 4 of the convicts were born in the tank

[TheZicirtma]

[malone3994]

[Gregorybot]

cool fish but im angry my fish are feeder fish they make good fish with other herbavors but i hould warn you FEEDER FISH HAVE A CHEMICAL IN THEM THAT TAKE OUT VITIMEN B so feed em pelleds

[OmgLowBattery]

how do the green terror and convict get along?

[1992pattrow]

I had a small Green Terror but my adult Fire Mouth beat him to shit. He died this morning. I am going to get another and raise him in a separate tank.

[ryanpatrickkenneth]

Hey titiestothemax, I have a green terror with a normal Texas cichlid but try to get them at juveniles.

[t0ny1321]

hey can i put a green terror in with red bellied piranhas?

[123FIREball200]

@t0ny1321 yep

[orgasmoman69]

the gt probly died from too many feeder fish

[diabolickitten]

It is fine to feed Greens feeder fish as long as it isnt comets/goldfish and such. Those arent very good for them, moderation is the key.

A JD will bother pretty much everything, including a convict. Depends how bold your convict is if it lives or not. I personaly owned a Red Zebra Mbuana African Cichlid and it RAPED a full grown JD and could easily fend off a jaguar. Keep in mind, this Red Zebra was very abnormally large and aggressive.

[woodsman90]

Nice Convict in the back the GT doesnt bother it? Would a jack dempsey bother a con?

[WORDUP504]

What size tank is that

[CMEM1]

well my Jack dempsey Cichlid ... i put a green terror that was a lil biggerr thhan him ... they were pretty big .... but Jack dempsy kicked some ass

[orgasmoman69]

shouldnt feed em feeders man, it'll kill em

[ricin82]

i got a male green terror and then got him a female a week later and he kicked her ass, shes now dead :/

i gotta find him a bigger one mebbe

[123FIREball200]

@ricin82 u shuda got a pair when young

[octapus200]

how big do convicts get?

[mrhepden]

6 inch max

[HappyToysRUsKid]

The laughing kid in the background made me lol!

[LAXificaton]

i want 2 get a couple of these, male and female, how do i sex them? what do they cost? how big a tank do they need?what ratio of male to female do i use?

[JS5074]

not sure how much others are paying or what a breeding pair of terrors are worth but i got mine 15$ for both the male is about 8" and the female is about 5-6"

[izbiz513]

thats a female terror right

[smcpherson25]

hey i noticed that you also have a convict in with the green terror. i was wondering how they get along? does the convict get enough to eat? do they fight? or anything else i should know? was thinking of getting one of each, also if i get a male GT (because they're more colorful) does it matter if the convict is male or female? thanks for any info

[shimsand]

Yes. They do fight occasionally. It's a very tense environment for them. Since the video was taken, the Green Terror died. So the tank now just contains a Pleco and 2 convicts. It's much more peaceful.

[redeyesthe20th]

what did mr. green terror die from?

[GlenShortland]

Ah shit man...was it anything to do with feedign them feeders? i just want to know before i get the idea of doing it.

I heard predatory fish and big cichlids who eat Goldfish and Minnows tend to get health problems due to excess of fat and lack of protien

[supaflywilkins]

It is ok to feed feeders every once and a while, but be sire to feed other things such as crickets, worms, pellets, river shrimp (prawns) also.

[Ale7Returns]

i need help i got a new tank my 1st and i have one ghost shrimp and 2 minnows and a gold cleaner snail. the problem is that the one of the 2 minnows bother the shrimp alot what should i do, if i had more shrimp i think they would be fine are the minnows the aggressive type

[supaflywilkins]

lol minnows arent aggressive

[smoothjcee]

Damn nice GT

[ADIOfan8]

what size tank

[gobblesxx]

my convict (male) is about 10 cm long, He has very good colours, and the he flares his red gills at the female and then they lay eggs and then they eat them

[shimsand]

Rosies

[snowman1692]

what kind of feeders were those they were fast

[WATCHyourACEjac]

black convits, tiger barbs, jack dempsey

[titiestothemax]

what are good green terror tankmates

[shimsand]

black convicts

[zachary1814]

a smaller red devil

[123FIREball200]

@titiestothemax firemouth cichlids and frontosa and oscares jack dempseys i would sugest a firemouth

[2008nezza2008]

what fish are good in a 3ft  by 1 by 1ft because i love oscars and malawi cichlids so i thrt i would ask u or eny1 elsa thnx

[0thingthing0]

oscars are too big, you might get away with a few small malawi mbuna cichlids.

[2008nezza2008]

thx

[YourSkankyMom]

Fuck nut!  Hahahaha! Will you go out with me?

[SBT4L1F3]

Flakes,pellets,shrimp and bloodworms would make a good diet :) i got it from a Green Terror website.

[YourSkankyMom]

I feed mine processed human baby heads.

[jsmith1257]

thats fuckin funny! lol

[streamleazefishhouse]

I think it is amazing how the U.S and U.K differ when it comes to opinions on feeder fish. It would be interesting to hear what side of the fence the rest of the world stand. I must admit I'm not a fan.

[cosworthlady]

With an abundance of frozen and freeze dried foods out there I actually think its terrible to feed live fish to your green terror. Your green terror does look healthy but my one who has never been fed any live food is outstanding compared to yours.

[dstppnstppln]

cosworthlady, please destroy your keyboard to save the rest of us from reading your ignorant posts. "outstanding compared to yours" .............dot dot dot dot.....

[macorine987]

Yes I understand completely, but feeding them feeder fish is much more natural.. Some fish prefer feeder fish over freeze dried/frozen foods. My oscar used to eat frozen food, but when I gave it live fish it was much more happy (in my opinion).

[xXninetrayXx]

man my fish were perfectly normal until i fed them some feeders and all of a suden they come out with ick well not ick but they have mybe around 4 white spots on them so i took action and put them in a medical tank and put some medicene in for them...i alwready lost a jack dempsey to ick and im not tryna lose any more

[narufanguy]

all fish become aggresive when they eat only livefood so its best to keep them on pellets

[Routhe99]

sometimes they are more fun when they are aggresive:P

[tylercoy187]

is that probably why my tiger oscar been killing everything i put in my tank?? he doesnt like the pellets much any more

[laurathegoth]

if any of you people actually bothered to take the time to research your fish and their feeding preferences and practices you would know that in captivity the practice of using feeder fish is deemed to be unnecessary and in fact potentially harmful. When one type of fish only is fed (goldfish for example) your pet fish runs a high risk of vitamin deficiencies for a start. The green terror is omnivorous and therefore can be happily and healthily kept in captivity without the need for feeder fish.

[shimsand]

An interesting phenomenon happens after I feed them live fish. They actually become more aggressive, and rush to the front of the aquarium glass, and flare their gills at me.

I also notice that their colors become more brilliant.

[outdoorsrok]

you've got to agree....it's cool to watch every once in a while.

[rajkerala33]

i have a green terror 3 iches in length. it lives with my pacu and it is very stressed because of the pacus size and agression. i ve a small community tank of serpae tetras and small sword tails and redline barbs and three cardinal tetras as well. if i put the green terror with them does he eat cardinals and serpae tetras?

[cichlid62]

HHHEEELLLOOOOOOOO!

[shimsand]

fyi, I don't feed them feeder fish exclusively.  Their diet consists of pellets, and feeder fish.

[RAmenFSM]

if your really against feeder fish, go post on the snakehead videos where the fish bites its tail off and waits for it to die.

[Fozz3]

I agree with the 1st comment. I have keep large cichlids for 20 years and never feed them live fish. you can buy large cichlids food and blocks of frozen blood worm and brine shrimp, which is ideal for these fish if not better.

[laurathegoth]

This practice is cruel and unnecessary

[ryanrettew]

its natural and its called the life cycle newb

[laurathegoth]

how very american of you ! don't be so ignorant !

[ryanrettew]

tushay you non american newb, ill keep feeding my fish the same way shimsand does and we will continue to enjoy, but we seriously thank you for your wonderful and and useful comments.

[Jesseppi]

if you dont feed it... wouldnt that be cruel and unnecessary???

[TheJacobCastroShow]

your a fucken retard!

[2004exrider]

Doesnt everyone know that in the wild, pellets fall from the trees and the fish dont have a need to eat any other animals? So cruel lol, I sure hope you don't eat any meat whatsoever and complain about this because then you are a hypocrit :)

[vinod24983]

he he he ...."pellets fall from the trees" nice one :)
