I FOUND ANOTHER ONE!!
It looks like a septemfasciata with bagaces (mis)barring. This time I won't move it.

Wow. Giving him his own 55 would be awesome.He is still alive, and is in fact a he. Has the red convict fins with blue speckling in the soft rays of his unpaired fins, indicative of a male. He actually (unsurprisingly) got a lot of convict features. He's pretty much just a septemfasciata shaped, mango colored convict. Idly shows barring (absent in septemfasciata), has blue speckles in the fins (absent in septemfasciata), possesses the first bar (absent in all septemfasciata), and again has the red fins, though males of both species have reddish fins. As stated before he additionally has the misbarring from his dad's bloodline. He even hates tetras, another trait that comes from his dad's side. The only thing that sets him apart is his kinda dull mango yellow/orange base coloration, his VERY tall almost circular body, and his... tricolored eyes??
Pictures don't do justice how weirdly saturated his colors are. Definitely going to be a monster when he's bigger. Given his weird inbetween shape I'm wondering if he'll get more of a bullet shaped head or a pointy convict shaped one. So far looking more on the bullet side, maybe he'll just look like a really weird sajica. I'll probably give him his own 55.

Definitely raise them!Tldr, got a group of septemfasciata and put them with nicoya convicts, turns out there were 0 male septs in the group so one female took up my biggest male nicoya, now I have fry of what could be one of the biggest and most aggressive convict type things in existence. I call them demonvicts, like demonic, but convict.
Do I raise them out of curiosity? They wouldn't leave my house. I am currently working on dropping food in the nest to get the other fish to eat them, but I have about half left so I am currently weighing my options.
I am working on separating the species in my collection.
