Try Google - Plenty of info on the Web.

Is there anything specific you want to find out about them? I'm not a big
fan of large cichlids, but I seem to recall that green terrors are aptly
named tank-destroyers: diggers and aggressive as all hell.

Try looking at this link if you want some comments from people who have
kept them:

I'm trying my best to revive some interest here by asking an innocent
question that may get a conversation going. Of course I could Google, but if
we all do that, it doesn't leave much for NG's. I've been keeping fish for
50 years, but am new to Green Terrors. I never had any interest but kind of
fell into a couple of small ones.

It would be great if this newsgroup could become popular again. The
great advantage of newsgroups is the standardization and speed. Web
forums just are too slow and clumsy for some people. The big problem
is that most people who have started using the Internet in the last
ten years seem to think it's just the web.

I have been keeping cichlids for over 40 years but I can't help with
Green Terrors as I'm not into large species. I haven't got the room.

Sorry if I sounded offhand suggesting you try Google.
Although I've kept fish for some 45 years Green Terrors aren't a species
I've kept.

Is there any specific question you're needing answering?

Not really, but it's nice to hear replies from a couple of civilized
folks for a change. I think that USENET is pretty much dead, except for us
old fossils that know how to do it. I can't tell you how many folks I've
tried to recruit to various NG's, by send them a list of instructions. It's
just too much trouble for the casual computer user.

Too much trouble - that seems so strange to some long time Usenet
people like me. I find web forums far too much trouble as they are all
over the place and vary so much. Usenet survives because it's so
simple to use. The main trouble with Usenet is spam from Google groups
and gmail users.

I agree with you both but USENET just doesn't seem to get to PC newbies.
Looking at your Sig Steve you're in IT and JKC has put together a decent
website so neither of you two lack an understanding of IT.
Myself I have the awful job of fixing PC's & PC problems for a living so I
too am not new to USENET.

Shame, but that the way it is.

BTW - Check out my post on free article.

The difficulty for them is configuring a good reader like Outlook
Express. I don;t use Google Groups, but that's gotta be easier? The wacko's
and nasty's don't help either.

Funny but I put that website together so many years ago, that most
people didn't have computers or internet access to even see it at the time!
LOL
I maintain 25 really old workstations at my school these days. I'm a
grade school computer teacher, but end up spending 1/2 my time just keeping
these dogs running. My school is very poor and fighting to stay open so I'm
always looking for parts on Ebay and such.
