Identify your North American Native Fish

Etheostoma colorosum?

 

[fishlvr]

Not quite. Your getting closer though. I guess I found a tough one.

 

[fishlvr]

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

It is the Coosa Darter (Etheostoma coosae).

 

[klmt]

shoulda guessed that, Coosa river, Coosa darter, bit of a resemblance?

 

[chenaus]

heres one

 

[rjmtx]

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...

 

[klmt]

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.
