💚 Green Texas Cichlid (Herichthys carpintis) – Bold & Colorful American Cichlid

The Green Texas Cichlid (Herichthys carpintis) is a stunning and powerful New World cichlid, admired for its vivid green metallic spots that shimmer across its dark body. Native to northeastern Mexico, this species is a close relative of the Texas Cichlid (Herichthys cyanoguttatus) but is often considered even more dazzling due to its intense coloration. 🌿🐠

Known for their bold personality and territorial behavior, Green Texas Cichlids thrive in aquariums with plenty of space, sturdy decorations, and robust tank mates. They make excellent show fish, becoming more vibrant and striking as they mature. ✨
