Okay then. You can't see either of those things in the pictures, so how can you try to encourage an arguement over it?
lolIf you are that well versed on these two species, then maybe you should tell the OP what the defining characteristics are?

OK...... First of all, I think the majority of people here have decided it is either h. carpintes or h. cyano. That we CAN tell from the picture. THe picture is still too blurry, in my opinion, to determine which species it is, especially since these species are very similar. There is not argument over it except the one you are trying to start.
I am not, nor have I claimed to be so well "versed" on these species, but unlike yourself, I do know both species are similar in color and that is not the determining factor to seperate the two.
I can tell you that if you look aroud and different pictures of both adult species, it is fairly easy to tell them apart once you know what a cyano looks like and once you know what a carpintes looks like. As juvies, they are harder to I.D., especially with all the hybrids that occur.

Actually it is referred to as pearling. Thus the common name for carpintes as the pearlscale cichlid
