Green terror or Andinoacara rivulatus

I have a difficulty of determining if this article is about Green terror or Andinoacara rivulatus. Green terror is an older name used for a taxon that is now divided into several species. Using the name Green terror as title for an article, which only covers one of those species, is therefore wrong. The title for this article should therefore be Andinoacara rivulatus. Aequidens Rivulatus

Another article covering the new 'rivulatus clade' (Andinoacara rivulatus, A. stalsbergi, A. sapayensis and A. biseriatus) should be created with the title Green terror. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Steffenkbh (talk • contribs) 18:35, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes.. this article is hopeless in terms of the naming... It's headed "Green Terror" and then spends the rest of the time talking about a "Gold Saum". Surely fishes should be titled by scientifically appropriate names and frequent common names should appear as "Sometimes known as Green Terror, Gold Saum" on the first line of the article with redirects from those searches to the correctly named article. I am a Wikipedia user NOT an editor, I had to look elsewhere for info on this species... sorry WP, that's a fail! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.181.254.8 (talk) 13:55, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Green terror and offspring

They are excellent parrent and do not eat there offspring! This should be edited.. Sources: http://www.malawicichlidhomepage.com/other/aequidens_rivulatus.html http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/fish/aequidensrivulatus.php

I agree that discussion should be added on parental care. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.45.150.102 (talk) 10:34, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Incorrect Information Connections to McDaniel

There is no truth to the section titled "Connections to McDaniel." This is not a new mascot for McDaniel College. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CherylPR (talk • contribs) 20:45, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

The green terror (Andinoacara rivulatus) is a colorful species of freshwater fish in the cichlid family, Cichlidae. The fish originates from the Pacific side of South America from the Tumbes River in Peru to the Esmeraldas River in Ecuador. It is polymorphic and can have white or gold-orange edging to the tail and dorsal fins. As its name implies, late juvenile-phase and adult-phase specimens can be very aggressive. This green terror was photographed at Karlsruhe Zoo in Germany.
