is this g.terror strange lookin to anyone else?

[scottyboy]

i thought it might grow out of this potbelly looking phase as i got it very young. all the other in the tank looked this way too. is this strange looking to anyone else?

looks like a parrot but i would say it is deformed

My guess is you got a "Balloon Green Terror" rather than a regular GT. So it's not something it will grow out of, it's a genetic trait the breeders selected for, like for Balloon Mollies.

Could it be crossed with a guppy?

[imagirlgeek]

It's one of those short-bodied green terrors. They create them this way and they are usually sold as "Balloon Green Terrors".

Yes...it is VERY strange looking...like was said before, it is a balloon green terror. Brought to you by the same people promoting the parrot cichlid and the flowerhorn

Don't forget the flowerhorn parrot.

Yeah...i'm inviting bad juju just by talking about it in such a manner. Maybe we could tattoo it in such a way as to make it at least LOOK longer

[scottyboy]

ah makes sense. well he/she seems to be getting to that point where its attacking other fish. i thought i would have another tank setup for it, but looks like i wont be able to keep it. anyone want moderately well behaved balloon g. terror? i might see if i can trade in somewhere if not.

There isn't anything "wrong" with these fish. I've seen them at Fish Unlimited before and I thought they were kind of cool. They had some really cool "balloon flowerhorns" also. Dont get rid of him unless you absolutely want to or have to. There is nothing "wrong" with him.
