That's a good comparison mo. I should have been more specific about the color. The pearling on a tex tends to be grayish while those of a carpintis tend to be greenish blue. Thanks for sharing those pictures. That Rio salto is a beauty.
Texas Cichlid, some pictures.

I have a male Carpintis... 5", and only 5-6 months old! That's what happens when you grow them in a 240, and they eat mainly shrimp! He's father to 2 spawns already with his 3" female!
They don't get shrimp anymore... They got moved from the 240 and now they are in a 150 with some others.. they get fed hikari sinking cichlid pellets, as well as OSI Blood Parrot pellets.. occasional algae wafers, shrimp pellets... what ever else I have on hand. Variety.
They were in my 240 with my rays, and that's why they got shrimp all the time.

I posted an answer in that therad mate. Your fish seems to be a hybrid as they have already told you. Just look at his head.
Anyway if you like it good!!! for at the end that's what it matters.
Cheers.
