	"Royal" Green Terror
pepidd Small Fry Posts: 2 Kudos: 3 Votes: 0 Registered: 06-Nov-2009	Hello, I was at my LFS and mentioned that I wanted a Green Terror for my tank. He suggested that I get a "Royal" Green Terror. I looked online and it seems like "Royal" Green terrors are the common green terrors I see all the time. Was he just pointing out that an actual GT can be very differant or am I missing something and these are a rare type?

Silversaum) Same genus, different species. I can't really help you out with why he might have suggested that, other than colour vibrancy.
