Caught this little fellow in a local creek today, and thought I'd show him off.

you caught him in a creek??? do you by any chance live near a nuclear power station???
 
Thanks, Rich. I wish the shot had come out better; he was a stunning little fish.

Crazycanuck- All our fish look like this in the south- come and see!:D Actually, this is a lower Tennessee River drainage endemic, but some of its nearly-identical-looking relatives reach as far north as Michigan, and the similar rainbow darter can be found in parts of Ontario and Quebec.
 
wow... very nice
