Perch can be tough but this is definitly a...
Dollar Sunfish.
I have studied perch, brim or whatever you want to call them for years. Often they can hybridize buit this is a true red blodded dollar sunfish.

Definatly NOT a dollar sunfish.
It's a beautifully colored up male longear sunfish. A great addition to your native tank!
I do this for a living (and have been working on the Brazos collecting fish for the past 10 years, and all over the state for that matter)...

Thank u. I love having a native aquarium. Its great when friends ask where I get my fish and I reply "the brazos" lol. Native fish are beautiful in a aquarium and fun to watch. Look how they stackup against the cover in the pic below. Everything is from the brazos in my setup. including the rock and drift wood.
