The minimum tank setup should be of about 55 gallons or more . Method of breeding green terror is similar as of any other fish of cichlid family .These fishes are of egg layers type and they give about 400 eggs on a site . This site can be artificial slate , marble piece or fine broad leaves of aquarium plants . Before laying eggs green terror will clean the site and then deposit a layer of eggs .
For breeding you will require a healthy pair .You can ask aquarium dealer for proven pair or you can get about 7-8 young green terror cichlid . As they grow up they will pair up themselves.Generally male are larger with a hump on head . Give them protein rich food basically live food .Do partial water changes of about 30 % per week and raise the temperature of aquarium to 26 degrees Celsius . At the time of spawning the parents
become very aggressive and the members which were tolerable before comes on their hit list .So remove any other fish else they will be killed soon .
After 3-4 days eggs will hatch and hundreds of fry will come out . You don't need to separate parents .As cichlid love their children and they will take care of them.You can give them newly hatched brine shrimps or crushed flake food . Maintain good water quality by subsequent small water changes at regular interval of time .
