I say he looks great. He has some awesome fins. I'd guess he'll color up a bit more and if you can get the two to pair up seeing him in breeding dress should really give you an idea of his potential. Nice find!
 
Great catch. Carpinte and Cyanos are possibly my favorite cichlids. Very common, but I still love them.

good pickup ... the carpintes I see at my LFS are never this nice ...
 
Let me tell you guys the history of this fish.. He is a creation of Cjbarth. A fellow hobbyist took him to the lfs, and I swooped him up. The parents are a blue Carpinte x a Red texas. But he is a blue Carpinte.. Regular Carpintes dont get pearls like like this.
