Which Texas is this?

[vjayshutterbug]

Hey guys....is this guy a regular Texas Cichlid or a Carpintis? I'm having trouble distinguishing.
Thanks for any help.

Good question.... that lateral blotch is unusual...

Here's a Herichthys tamasopoensis to compare

and now Herichthys carpintus "Chairel"

The name Texas really only applies to H cyanoguttatus, but many unaware aquarists use it for almost any of the Herichthys genus.

That fish doesn't look like a pure texas to me tbh. Looks more like a hybrid of some sort.

Looks hybrid.

Looks hybrid to me.
