KimW Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I am trying to figure out what kinda cichlid this guy is....he came with my tank and a friend has said he's a "Texan" but all the pictures i've found he looks nothing like them. Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingin' It Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 your friend probably meant Texas Cichlid. Are you able to get a pic of it swimming out in the open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rED O Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Herichthys carpintis, or a Herichthys cyanoguttatus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimW Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I will try to get a better picture of him actually out in the open. The tank is in my living room and when the kids are awake the fishies tend to be scarce. LOL not that i blame them i think sometimes i'd like to be able to hide in a cave too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you say it is then? My vote is still on some Herichthys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry im not sure what it is, I was just stating that I doubt it to be a Texas cichlid, though I do realise it can change quite a bit from now to a full colour adult Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW: the name tag reads, Texas cichlid But like I said they are adults and like I also said, Ive never seen a juvinile Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
