I agree about the carpintus being remale, the head shape,,, and colore in the dorsal.
I edited you pic ro get a better look.

Her profile is quite drastic compared to a carpintus male.

Here's a dumb question if the JD is a male could they possibly pair? Or that's not how it works with JD and Texas..bc they are suspiciously together 24/7 lol

Yes, they could potentially pair off. I had to separate my old carpintis male and female salvini due to trying to pair up. Also had a female vieja synspilum try getting my male parachromis multifaciatus attention but didn't work, he ignored her lol
