My Texas Cichlid

[xEchOx]

This is probably my favorite fish. There has been extensive debate on his true identification. Cyanogutattus or Carpintis. I think that he may be a mix. I have had him for about ten months now. He has grown quite a bit since then. He was less than an inch when I first got him, and now he is about 6 inches. Here are pics from yesterday. Enjoy.

That is a very nice looking Texas cichlid. Does look like it has charactoristics of both Cyanogutattus and Carpintis?!! Beautiful!

Thanks for the compliments. Yea, he does seem to have a few qualities of both species. I guess I'll never be sure?
