They look like just the common variety Carpintis.

I think Escondido...big giant pearls. Go google...btw Econdidos and Vontehillos. Its definitely not Chairel or Lahillas. You will see that Escondidos have the biggest pearls, MY Fav. However more members here on MFK tend to like Vontehillos more. You also have a good possibily of a female (black dorsal)

Here are my old pics of my Escondidos:

H carpintis "Escondido" tends to have large wormy markings on the operculum. The fish in question do not have that. It's a Herichthys carpintis "Pet store" location.

Here's the common pet shop variety I got. I think they're mass bred in Florida.
