The pictures in the 2nd link are of a lovely looking texas escondido. Personally, I can not tell the difference...just look a bit more spangly!!

if you google that name you won't get much.It is spelt carpintis escondido.Google this and there is heaps to sift through.
I have a breeding pair and a huge carpinte x texas. They are absolutely beautiful and are extremely aggressive.
The real name is Herichthys carpintis (Jordan & Snyder, 1899)
The escondido is a reference to a particular locale that the fish comes from. There is no escondido texas. Texas cichlids are Herichthys cyanoguttatus (Baird & Girard, 1854) and are not found at Escondido AFAIK

I was thinking the same thing just now. Escondido will have worm-like markings on the side of their face. We'll need a better shot from the side to tell you...
