ID this texas species

[d3ssen27]

saw these at the lfs
Dont have a clue what type of texas species they are

 

[Buphy]

I'd say it looks like a normal carpintis/green Texan that I've seen but I've never been good at fish ID and I'm not well versed in Texans in the first place. Don't take my word for it.

I agree with the 1st post,carpintis

Green Texas'''''

 

[mikem691]

Herichthys carpintis

 

[duanes]

Agree it looks like carpintus.
And the name green Texas is a misnomer, they don't come from Texas.
The only true Texas cichlid is Herichthys cyanoguttaus.

Correct me if i'm wrong but they are native to Mexico if I can recall correctly

 

[duanes]

Yes Mexico, a system south of the border.
