So you really dislike when people call the Media Luna Lab's "yellow Texas" then I'd wager.

I agree and know that green texas cichlids aren't even from texas and should be referred to as carpintis, but no one else I speak to around here would even know what I was talking about if I were to call them by there proper name 
so it is just easier to go along with it.
I have located a male green texas locally which is about 15 cm which I think is a male and my female is about 10cm. Do you think my tank is too small to have the pair then?

I have never heard yellow labridens called yellow Texas, but that's even more ridiculous.
Calling either Texas is kind of like saying Melbourne is a suburb of Sydney.
My chairel pair spawned in a 75 gal, and the male took out 2 other males and the female killed another female, I was able to rescue 1 another female.
A 40 might work if they were very well bonded.

I'm guessing people use it for the whole genus, much like kribs or convicts refer to the whole, or even several, genera.
A 48"x18" foot print is the most common. But there is also a 60"x18", but most people call those 75 longs.
Male was/is about 5" female an inch smaller. And it is a standard 75 gal, they are still in it, guarding another spawn.
I ended up purchasing another carpintis and am yet to tell what sex it is. They jaw locked and fought for the first 5-10 mins but after that they get along really well and haven't left each others side and go everywhere together. Is this a good sign? Also the new one which is 15cm/6inches is constantly digging and tearing through the gravel and keep slapping each on the side with their tails. This is how my firemouths behaved when they were leading up to spawning. Would you say this is a similar situation?
