[VRWC]

Thanks Mo. I really just wanted to see a photographic comparison of all the locale differences, so any besides chariel, lahillas or escondido will do, although, Id like to see all your photos of them.

As long as you want go by locales here is a sp. la hoya, caught a bunch of wild texas cichlids after a bass fishing trip, last week............

The blue labridens and Herichthys pantostictus are the same fish, blue labridens being a riverine variety of Herichthys pantostictus, which has its type locality in Laguna del Chairel (Lacustrine form). The fish called carpinte from Rio El Salto is geographical variety of Herichthys pantostictus. Diagnostic features for H. pantostictus include the blotch behind the pectoral fins, red in H. pantostictus and purple in H. labridens. The body is more elongated and covered (partially sometimes) with red blotches over it, as you can see in the rear half of the pictured fish

Thanks mo!
