My boy again. Gotta separate him from the female for a while after I make some space so he can get in shape
I'm new here. I adapted this guy about 6 months ago. He is 7.5". I couldn't tell you now old he is.
I am looking for a female and breeding them.

Wow, cant believe how bad that post came out.
anyway, I "adopted" him and I am looking forward to breeding them...if I can find a compatible female.

Hi Ian. These look really nice.. But as for being Escondido strain, they are not because they dont have the escondido look at all. They are reall y nice though.
can someone tell me what exactly is the difference between the escondido and the texas green? I have tried finding info online, but there isn't anything definitive that I can find.
Herichthys carpintus, be they "escondido" or "chairel" or ???? are all carpintus, the names are based on location, either the lagoon or city near where the original fish were caught, and each location may offer a fish with a slightly different color pattern or color intensity.
Some keepers may want to breed and keep fish only from a certain location together. In this way, the variant would always be considered that type.
If however a keeper puts a chairel with escondido, or LFS variety with escondido, and they breed, the young would become a generic/ aquarium strain of carpintus.
And because there seems to be a preponderance of hybridization of late, the name "implies" that the species has been kept true, and not been crossbred, and or hybrid.
