I'm struggling to even find those mentioned with a normal google...
 
Any of you guys have pictures of any of these "newer" location points carpintis?

Ive seen 4 and had 3 over the past 2 years (lahillas, chariel, escondido) but havent heard of these new locales...and cant find anywhere online where anyone besides a few here are saying they exist.
 
One reason these varients may be hard to google, is that they are the names of locations tacked on for informational reasons, as opposed to actual species names. Valleys , rivers etc.
Herichthys tamasopoensus has been given true species status, although once thought to be simply carpintus from Tamasopo. At some point, H. chomba or lahillas may be given the same status, or maybe not. But we differentiate between locations because a fish from one area may be slightly different from one just across the valley, and in case in the future it is given species status, we can keep it pure if we are vigulent.

Im sure that theres more than that. If we named every river, lake, or tributary that they are found in there would probably slight differences in every one. I really havent seen any bad looking carpintis period. I have 3 ATM and dont really care what variant they are, so long as they arent some kind of hybrid...
 
Ira has some rare carpintis but I cant remember the name, they may have already been mentioned.

we got another one, Herichthys tamasopoensus. But is H. chomba within the 6 varieties of carpintis?

my profile picture is carpintis from Ira, carpintis vontehillo, they are excluded the 6 varieties though.
