Help me ID my cichlid

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
that is one good looking fish either way. def. got some texas/carpintis in it, my carpintis have bigger pearls, though, and their dorsal fin is more rounded
 
looks like it might still be a juvenile, but some of the keys to me are: the pearling, the black blotch on the tail, and the black marks along the lateral line . . . all of which look just like the carpintis hybrid juvies I've got right now . . . also, the black blotch on the dorsal fin makes me think it might be a female
