Aye, my gut feeling tells me that it's a cyano but the worming keeps on screaming out 'carpintis' lol. The problem is that the worming seems so... minimal, but it is THERE which throws me off. >< Maybe it's just too young atm, and will be clearly a carpintis later. Or maybe it's just a weird cyano. Grrrrrrrrr.
thank you everyone, I now know what to look for. Its been only a few days since I've had him he is still shy, so maybe he'll improve his colors soon. I will definitely ask again once I see a change.
So, I just wanted to get an updated opinion from you guys, now that its been a few months, the fish doubled in size and its blues are more pronounced
can you guys give me a better ID and perhaps a sex at this time???

I believe the blue is partially from your choice of lighting. The smaller spots on the operculum indicate cyanoguttatum IMO
Carps can also change their pearling color if they want to. Anyways yeah, still looks carp x cyano.
Do you mean caprintis and not carp?
The "Texas" is caprintis for sure. This the problem w/ common names. These are two different sp. called the same common name.
Here is a pic of cyano for comparison:
