You'll likely see a mix of characteristics from both parents, some will resemble the blue acara, while others will take after the green terror. Some of the offspring may have the blue acara's appearance but with a yellow edge on their dorsal fin, similar to the green terror's trait. On the other hand, some that look like the green terror might have a white edge on their dorsal fin, and then there are those that will be a unique combination of both.

Many male cichlids develop a head hump, it's essentially a fatty deposit and a sign of good health, which the females find attractive.
