Green Texas

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Not a fan of common names but the Green Texas is Cyanoguttatus not Carpintus, sorry for the horrible pic but this is the true Green Texas Herichthys Cyanoguttatus a wild fish from Laredo Texas.....

Not true. Green texas is a carpintis. Regular texas cichlid is a cyanoguttatus.

Yes. When using common names such as texas or green texas things get confusing and species become mixed up. The texas cichlid is cyanoguttatus, but carpintis is referred to as "green texas". :)

A little update on these guys. They're getting big, about double the size now at about 3". They are a lot darker due to the new black substrate their in. Enjoy :D

I know, crappy pictures. I spend too much on my fish, I can't afford a nice camera.

Ahh the same LFS that had the green texas also had these labeled just as Texas. Should a snagged one.

Here's a pic of the one I rescued from my buddy. Its colored up insanely well, when I show people the before and after pics they're flaberghasted the same fish can look so different in such a short time

Thanks man can't wait to get him breeding. My juvie Orino and him display to each other sometimes but no real fights. I feel they think they are evenly matched and as long as one stays in his area haha
