My Green Terror has been in the tank for over a year and is very active. I keep the water parameters stable and provide a varied diet including pellets and frozen foods. It’s a striking fish, though it does require a large tank and careful tank mates.

The fish arrived healthy and has adapted well to the 75-gallon tank. I maintain a consistent temperature and pH. It’s aggressive with other fish, so I keep it alone. Feeding it a mix of flakes and frozen foods keeps it active and healthy.

After reading the care guide, I set up a large tank with proper filtration and stable water conditions. The Green Terror is vibrant and energetic. I feed it protein-rich foods daily and monitor water parameters weekly.
