Regular Carpintis vs Escondido

Escondido is just a varient based on it's collection point. It is still a Carpintis. In my experience though the escondido has a more erratic pattern with it's spots where the carpintis has more or a circle pattern. Squiggles appose to circles I guess is what I'm trying to say. LOL
Thanks for reply Tug, this question arised whensome one told me that my carp is ecsondido in this thread

Just now I have observed that my texy has irregular patchy markings(not round) that you have described for an escondido. Check out the bigger pic in that thread.

i just got an escondido from rapps they are very beautiful fish they have as much color as an ebjd but a more natural appearence they have a lot larger spots than other carpintis heres a pic of the new guy at about 2"
Yours is not an Escondido. The Escondido variant have wormy/squiggly markings on the face/gill plate.
Here I've taken Mike's Texas for Comparison, hope he doesnt minds...
@cichlidinsomniac...your fish is from Rapps, a very high quality fish with bold markings even at a small size.
Look how my fish looked when it was about your texas's size.
@Modest_man...look at the pic, even now you can see a few squiggly markings on its face, which I suppose should prolong as it grows.
I have observed this in GTs and severums as well.First they start as an irregular spot and extend as the fish grows.

I think you are thinking of the difference between Cayano and Carpintis. An Esco is generally just a Carpintis that has a sort of electric bright color, and perhaps even larger pearl spots.
No, I'm not thinking of a cyano. And scratanut, yours isn't an "Escondido".
Here is a photo of my old female Escondido. Look at the face.
And when 2-3"
