Cichlid Guessing Game, CA/SA Cichlids Only!!

[BC in SK]

Carpintis also turn black and white when spawning and Texas cichlids do not... So now this is why ppl get confused on fish..

Herichthys cyanaguttatus certainly does change to dark and light, from front to back, just like H. carpintis.
People confuse the fish because they are very closely related and look similar. They share the same common name because of their similarity. Just like numerous other common names that refer to more then one species such as crocodile, zebra, elephant, and giraffe.

Here is Nosferatu bartoni in normal coloration

and below, in spawning colors

To me the pearlscale, or pearl cichlid is Geophagus braziliensus, or at least that's the common name that goes back decades. I don't know the common name of bartoni, other than barton's cichlid. I usually don't use common names because the chance of getting something other than what you want is all too common.
