That's why you shouldn't use common names, you have a Herichthyes carpintis, Texas cichlids are Herichthyes cynaguttatus.
For what it's worth, a lot of people in the hobby would prefer the carpinte. They're usually more expensive and a little harder to find, at least where I live. I have both and enjoy them equally, but the cynaguttatus was a shot in the dark when I first bought it. I was mostly interested in a GT and JD (yes, not only common names, but common initials) and I ended up being quite pleased with the Texas. He's about seven inches now and is three years old. Both are a beautiful fish. Don't be bummed that you have one and not the other. It's a difference in color and markings, not shape or personality.
Thats a Carpinte, the variant that is most commonly found in the hobby. Like what was said in the thread that Midas Madness linked, the common name of "Texas" causes more harm than good. By calling them by their scientific names like Cyanoguttatus and Carpinte, confusion can be avoided.
why are you so hung up on the "texas" label anyway?bunty82;3300302;3300302 said:means its not a texas. Oh God
It's a nice fish, I prefer carpintis myself. In Asian they used the carpintis to create the Red Texas Flowerhorn so the Texas label is applied to all spotted Herichtyes there, I see you are in India. It's why I hate common names, buy your fish using the correct latin name and you know exactly what you are getting. Ken
