Here's another carpintus in various stages of growth.
The name "electric blue" is probably just a made up handle to help in its sale.
And I agree with RD, if it came from a LFS instead of a respected cichlid vendor it's probably an aquarium strain Herichthys.

all the above are the same individual in various stages of development, or mood.
Below, is an entirely different species. Herichthys [/URL]
