Identify your North American Native Fish

[irishkc]

I've actually caught a few that look similar to this and have them in a 55 gal. but have been unable to positively id them. This little guy, however is a Florida native.

Rough shiner, Notropis baileyi?

 

[irishkc]

absolutely. Nice call ksi.

Btw, if I were to get a clean shot of my shot, would anyone be interested/able to give me a solid, sure ID of the ones I caught in a local farm pond?

 

[ksiaquatics]

I am fairly certain, we could give it an educated guess.

Try this one out:

 

[dredcon]

Etheostoma serrifer?

 

[ewurm]

Johnny Darter?

 

[irishkc]

My guess would be Swamp Darter, caught a few in the same pond as my shiners, which I'm told may be Juv. Golden Shiner, btw. Here a pic. ( sorry, not the greatest).

 

[Skipjack]

I would also guess swamp darter. And those are golden shiners, if you had not heard before.

Irishkc is right. I suppose that one was a little too easy. Your turn.
