They look different now...Do you all still think they are carpintis? I am not sure at all...I am thinking they may be a red tex, or a hybrid....

They are Hericthys carpinte...no doubt. Cyanoguttatum have much smaller uniform spots that more or less "line up".

I agree:)
 
I know 150,000% they are not cyano's, I was wondering if they could be a mix, or red texas....Thanks Mo, this is the second time you id'd them first :) I believe you and hope they are carpintis....Do they vary in quality? Could these be Escondido's?
 
I didn't wait for all the pictures to load, but in the last two I see what you mean. They definitely seem to have a redish tent. The shape and spots look just like a carpintis but iv'e seen low grade red texas that look like that (not to say your fish are low grade, they look very good).
