Big Green Texas

[jiant2520]

Looks like a Cyano to me. A really good looking one at that. A red hue is not uncommon in this species.

I could be wrong, but i've had Cyano's in the past that looked a lot like this guy, except not as big.

I'm not 100%, but I thought that Carpintis had the "worming" in the face and Cyano did not??

 

[Red Devil Horde]

It looks like a female.

i was told he was a herichthys carpintis escondido.

[Red Devil Horde]

He might be a she, just judging by the black spot on the dorsal.
I'd vent to be 100%.

 

[cowis]

But if u look on its side it has dots down i too. So isnt the last dot from the "flowerline"?

 

[Sarah88]

yeah that black in the dorsal looks more like a "flower" spot than the blotch of a female, something about the black spots and worming is just off, def look like a red texas of some kind (def NOT a pure cyano) but still a great looking fish and yeah the true colors of these guys is always the hardest to photograph i could never get good pictures of my vontehillos color when i had him

Here is my old Carpintis and Carpintis Escondido. I don't think that you have an Escondido at, however yours and my old Carp look pretty close.

 

[Desert Bus]

Very pretty.
