Question
is it necessary to keep male and female green terror in the same tank for breeding or once female lays eggs, female is to be seperated and oly male fertilizes the eggs?

Answer
Hi Akshay;

Both male and female Green Terror Cichlids care for the eggs and babies, and they are actually excellent parents. They should be away from other fish because they will kill other fish but let them do the job they were born to do. It's actually pretty cool to watch such aggressive fish be so tender and attentive towards their own little ones.

Good Luck!
