rjmtx: Your go. Since you have come the closest, you win.

It is the Coosa Darter (Etheostoma coosae).

Any locality info? Cyprinids are tough enough even if you know what state they're from. Just look at my Sabine shiner I posted a couple of fish ago...

yes please, i started to look in my books and just gave up. a general locale would be nice. Also for the future Something more like darters, or madtoms, or less shiners that look the same like this.
