Carpintis are not texas.. And I would not put anything else in with it. Once full grown it will need something bigger too. With those species, in that small of a tank, hell will break loose if you add more.

Yeah they are just a different form.
I do agree with you on not putting anything else in that tank.

what the heck is wrong with some people? the guy is asking for advice, and someone getting on his case - - calling him a loser? - - doesn't help

as noted, if you have a "Carpintis", then you have a Green Texas, which will grow to about 6-10", depending if it is a female or male (maybe add an inch or two for some specimens, or if what you have is a "true" Texas (cyanaguttatus)

at that size, a 55G is potentially too small, because it is only about 13" wide, so the fish has limited room to turn around . . . but you already said you will be moving it to a 220G

what I would do is re-post this question once you get the fish into the 220G, at which point you will get a whole new batch of opinionated advice

could you post a picture of the fish? might help people figure out if you have carpintis or cyanaguttatus, for example . . .

Well (s)he will be housed in a 125g, not a 220g. The oscars went to the 220.

As for a picture, gladly:

I dont know any thing about cichlids, dont really care for them personaly, but you guys need to calm down. He is looking for information; he hasnt brought them home already and now asking what to do. And saying he didnt look into it fully could be compleatly false there are so many websites that have information that does not match. So unless youve never made a mistake just help with what hes asking and not give your smart alik opinions. As for ibz_rg i hope you find the right info
