In my experience (very limited, I'll admit) Escondidos are more blue than anything else. I got my Escondido from a very reputable LFS and it is crazy blue.
Marco Arroyo;1099805; said:Ok, here goes what it think about this great topic, Herichthys cyanoguttatus (Baird & Girard, 1854), comes from south Texas to the border line or division of states in Mexico, between Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas, exactly in the river call Conchos, from there, the next river is Magueyes and its just 5 kilometer far away, and then you can find carpintis, but according to a Mexican icthyologist, that fish is carpintis teporatus, and from there to the river Soto la Marina, you will find another morph call carpintis riverine, then you go to the state of San Luis Potosi, and in the town of Naranjos theres a river call El Salto, where you will find a beautiful carpintis, maybe another species, and finally from there to the south, you find the carpintis carpintis, of course it needs a lot of study and effort to do the revision of the gender, i hope this will help, greetings
