It was labeled as a carpintis but i am wanting to know if is electric blue or just regular color.
You posted it was sold to you as a electric blue texas, now you say it was labeled carpinitis?
Electric blue is a marketing label. It’s not the normal coloration of H. Carpinitis, which can be from light pearl to green or slight blue hue.
yeah it was a mistake i was worried about color more than genus.
Also in my defense the guy told me it was a EB texas but the store tag said carpintis.
Carpintis or texas makes no difference to me but i want to see if i got ripped off, because i googled EB texas and EB carpintis and the ones i saw looked more colorful, way more blue the this one but maybe is because he is too small.
As Rocksor said, the term EB is a commercially made up, selling ploy, not anything to do with reality.
Here is Herichthys carpintus "location variant chairel".
It's no more or less "electric blue", than any of the carpintus clade of Herichthys.
Now below Herichthys tamasopoensus
Or the young H carpintus "Rio Hondo " below
