its about an inch long. the pic is blurry but it doesnt have a sucker type mouth . darts along the bottom walking a bit on its fins. it showed up in a bag of ghost shrimp from my lfs.
what is this mystery fish?

I have no idea what kind of fish that is, but I had one this summer. My little brothers caught it for me in the stream that runs behind my house. I put it in my 20 gal until this fall when I released him. I(t was very interesting to watch the little thing swim because it was if he was flapping his fins and when he got off the bottom he would gently float back down. I would be very interested to find out what kind of fish this is!

perhaps fuzmugly is right and wrong. right that it may be some sort of bait fish raised in mass by the same people who raised the ghost shrimp for the lfs. and wrong for putting it back out into the environment as most of my reading lately says thats a no-no.
At first glance it looks like something along the liens of a dojo loach, or something like a weather loach, but a closer look says that loaches' dorsla fins don't look like that. A goby is the only other logical answer, giving it's sppearance, but I'm not really sure, I've never kept Freshwater Gobies so I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly.
Andruboz: I simply returned the fish to the stream in which my brothers caught it in. I did not buy it at a store or anything like that.
