Cyanoguttatus, Carpintis or Escondido?

Cyno for sure. Ken

I'm inclined to call them hybrids. The species is becoming like Midas/Devils. If not hybrid though, I would lean towards carpinte.

How much you got them for?

those fish the OP posted do not look anything like cyano's. cyano's have small silvery spots and carpintis have blue/green BLOTCHY markings. its actually pretty easy to tell them apart unless theyre hybrids. pics from the web:


cyano


carpintis (escondido variant)


regular carpintis

Regular Carpintis.

 

[Mumtron]

Cyno for sure. Ken

i agree 100%. i've kept both carpintis and cyan's and they look different in person.

I have wild caught true cyano I netted here in Texas, thats not Cyano, They are either Carpintas, on Carp/Cyano cross. Like someone else said, in the hobby it is hard to get a pure strain of either one these days.

I don't want to hijack, but while you're all looking at texas cichlids, can anyone ID mine?

Wasn't there a whole thread about IDing this fish already. I doubt your gonna get different answers.
