New lfs pickup id?

I’m not very knowledgeable on Texas cichlids I know there’s lots of hybrids. I seen this one and had to have it. Is it a green Texas?

 

[Numbnuts]

Cyannogattus

 

[Pond9]

Thanks it’s definitely a nice looking fish

 

[Numbnuts]

Enjoy it brotha, I’ve had some nice Cyannogattus in my collection as well

Although there probably are lots of hybrid and line bred Texans (red?), it seems the name Texas cichlid has erroneously become a catchall term for almost every cichlid in the Herichthys genus, because there are a number that look very similar.
Here is Herichthys carpintus "location chairel

Herichthys tamasopoensi

Herichthys minckleyi

Only cyanoguttatus is a Texas cichlid, non of the rest come from Texas.

I'd lean more towards carpintis or a mutt carpintis / cyano. Either way they're very cool fish to own =]
