can you post a picture of your fish? The Green Texas cichlid's scientific name is Herichthys carpintis. The regular Texas is Herichthys cyanoguttatum and look like this:

Is this what yours looks like? s so then they like a ph in the 7.0-7.5 range and temps in the 75-80 range. No salt!

You can use a bit of salt... Just make sure it has no iodine in it like table salt. I have seen a product called "Cichlid Salt" in the stores so you should be able to find some of that. The fish you claim to have do not make bubble nests so whatever he/she was doing was something else.
