I caught a ton convict/Texas with a dip net. I'll take some pictures later so you can see the similarities. Only real difference between mine and the pic you posted are the fins.

Thank you! I appreciate that.
 
Omg he’s stinking adorable! You won’t have any problems re-homing him...

Sucks that you have to euthanize fish bc of people’s lack of taking responsibility, poor fish.

On the bright side at least you save them from a life of suffering and mistreatments by having the heart to euthanize. My heart hurts for you, commons are beautiful imo

They are beautiful and when I come across a really exceptional individual I will make some calls to see if I can find a place for it but its rare that my local connections have a spot. More rarely, I will get something like RTC or Shovel nose and Im just not equiped to deal with a fish their size on a long term (especially now that I'm having to rebuild all my in ground ponds). I do try to find a place for them but often come up empty. I hate that part of this hobby.

This fish will get a home no doubt. My friend Mat (the Oscar nut) was over yesterday to help plumb some filters and says he calls dibs lol. He thinks its female and midas/texas x. It's doing alot of flashing right now tho so certianly isnt ready for a new home yet. Going to pull it this afternoon and get scrapings for the scope.

Y'all do know I'm not intentionally a rescue right? Lol my main focus has always been koi and GF. Check out some fish I just ordered to replace some of the stock I lostScreenshot_2018-09-09-03-31-58.png Screenshot_2018-09-16-10-37-24~2.png Screenshot_2018-10-06-11-46-45.png

So this guy was on the porch this afternoon when I got up. He was in a Styrofoam cooler wrapped in duct tape. About 10in long (eye ballin it) Don't know a dam thing about him. (Other than its a chiclid... I'm only a little bit dumb)

Got him in a 60g quarentine right now and started on the QT basics. The water was really cold by the time I found him and he was just laying on his side for a while. Seems to be more comfortable now.

That is a really nice looking hybrid!
