Nice fish. Male, looks like Carpintis to me. Sorry I don't understand the blue/green thing, but I am sure others will oblige.

cheers

i had what was called a green texas that looked like that.. then again they are all called green around here

I think it's a male blue AKA Cyano. Green is carpintis and blue is cayano (I think)

Looks like a male cyanno. Never heard of "green" or "blue" until I saw it on this site (and this is still the only place I've heard it). Heard both called Texas, which still isn't right. I'll stick to scientific names.

looks like a cross between cyanno and carpintis to me. cyannos don't usually get a big head like that one, but carpintis do. this fish shows pearlings of a cyanno. thats why i am saying what i said.

I noticed that too. There are no other hints, though, of carpintis. I guess it could have been a cross a couple generations back. That would make sense. Maybe the carpintis was the female at some point, so it shows more cyanno.

Hello, its not cyano. Its male carpinte teporatus, its the variety between cyanoguttatus and carpinte. Cyanoguttatus have the same colors but the it have small points and they are arranged in lines, nice fish
