I kinda thought it might have some cyanoguttatus in it. Looks kinda like a few of them I have but the pearl and patterning dont look quite right (that or all of mine are not right lol) What size it it btw? Looks a LOT like a few of the juvenile cyan / carpintis cross I have(only difference is a more pronounced bar)
it has a long body unlike a texas i have both kinds of texas doesnt look a thing like them body shape and speckling is different. when i saw this thing i though it was a mota. its clearly not after bringing it home. it has a strong vertical bar much like salvinis and motas.
Hmm apparently the ones I have are not what I think they are then...other than the lips it looks like some juvs. I have. If you would not mind whenever you find out what it is PM me.
when we got the fish, my first eyeball guess was dempsey hybrid, perhaps mixed with salvini or parachromis...didn't have the shape to be one of the texas types to me. stuck at just generic CA hybrid for now
