Question
I had asked you earlier about my 2 green terrors. I was wondering how i can tell whether they are both male or not.  if they are both male is there any chance of them getting along?  thanks again.  you cant possibly be in middle school..

Answer
Hi,
If they grow up together, they may be fine together, but I have seen about 4 female green terror for every male, so that's unlikely. Males are big, very vibrant, outgoing, and have much bigger fins. Females are less colorful, smaller, a little more timid (but still very outgoing as far as fish go) with shorter, rounder fins. There are some other ways, but you don't need to worry about those yet.
