What??! I notice my green terror with its breeding tube hanging out and is getting extremely aggressive with every fish in the tank. He/she been digging lots of holes lately and using his/her(I can't tell) mouth to clean a rock. But the problem is...I only have ONE GREEN TERROR!
Heres my 200 gallon tank.

1 green terror(I do not see him/her pairing with anything)
1 flowerhorn(can't be, hes in the far right side, while gt on left)
1 jack dempsey(green terror is attacking him the most)
1 red devil(hes more interested in the midas)
1 midas(she love food)
2 oscars(They're spawning soon!)
1 salvini(hide all day)
All the other fish aren't cichlid.
Whats ur guess? Thanks:88)

HOLY COW IT LAID EGGS!

What you have is a confused female GT. You can get a male to fertilize the eggs, only if they are compatible. Usually after a while and alot of fighting.

If it laid eggs, no doubt it's a female, but the eggs are unfertilized which mean they turn white usually within 24 hours.

Of course, if your GT is trying to cross breed, thats a whole new story.

Man...That sucks...It finnish spawning after the fish store closes and I couln't go to the fish store and buy another one, but it might not be compatible anyway. Wasting time and money($9 for 5" gt, not bad). Wow I never knew fish would get confuse!

I wouldn't really say it was confused. Many female cichlids, when kept alone will still prepare spawning sites and lay eggs. Once the eggs start to fungus she will eat them. It's really pretty common.

lol, I guess she lay eggs because I don't feed her well
But who cares my oscar spawn for the 6 times again...Right now!
