I was reading a thread on another site regarding "Texas Cichlids"
and the question came to mind 'What fish are we actually talking about here? Herichthys cyanoguttatus (Texas Cichlid) or Herichthys carpintis, which according to "Cichlid gurus" of the time (30 years ago), were sold in Australia as "Texas cichlid" or "Green Terror"
This has probably been discussed at length on this forum in the past but I would be interested to know what is the current consenses of opinion?

Hmm

Seen "Texas Cichlids" labelled carpintis and cyanoguttatus. I dont know which they are though I always thought they were carpintis here. Interestingly, looking at the Livefish.com.au web site: https://www.livefish...pintis-4cm.htmlNote the link its self says H. carpintis and the fish is being sold as (and might actually be) H. cyanoguttatus.
