my Carpinte, what variant is he?

[capefeartarheel]

why wish? I personally think that lahillas is ugliest carpintis among, they have smaller spots and so much space between pearls, its pearls are slightly bigger than true texas.

keywords "I personally"

that means you personally dont, but obviously he does...thats why hed wish. He likes it.

i think its chariel. Escondido at that size has at least 4 dark spots while chariel only has 1 in middle of the body and 1 on the tail. It also lacks wormy markings on face. Anyways very nice pearl already, you are expecting more?
having a black blotch on its dorsal doesn't always mean that its female, males are usually dull on the face.

Mmmm.. never knew that about the spots...

This has nothing to do with determining between different species of Carpinte. All of them show it, it's just lighter and darker at times during stress, aggression, breeding, etc. My male Escondido would always show a solid black spot at times other than these..

It would still be a carpintis. They are all carpintis. You will however no longer have the pure wild line that you would find in a certain river. You essentially would have an aquarium strain carpintis. That is why it is best to always keep the collection local with the fishes name so that lines can be tracked.

ahhhh. I see. I agree because it all makes sense.. Thank you wise one.

i think they are the ugliest one too. But I thought about trying to breed red texas. The the empty spaces with no pearls can be red. I have a red texas with lots of pearls. I agree but Im also thinking elsewhere.

I am trying to breed red texas too, thats why i ended up buying huge pearl carpintis that cost as much as a super red texas.
