I am in no way qualified to answer your question, so I will just give you the benifit of knowing I read your post and looked at the picture wondering "Whats a Carpinte?"

Thats definately a Texas cichlid. I've been keeping both Texas cihlids (H. cyanoguttatus) and the Green Texas cichlid (H. carpinte) for over 15 years.

 

[Jurupari Man]

Agreed. Looks like a cyano to me.

That is a cyano. Green texans have larger spots than normal texas cichlids.

My 4 inch Carpinte

Here are a few pictures of my 4 inch Carpinte. I just took these 5 minutes ago. This fish loves the camera. While the other fish in the tank all take off to the other end. This guy poses????

Fiesty little bugger. I love to just sit and watch him. He's always up to some sort of trouble.
