Description:

Incomplete yellow lateral line. Males have dark blotches with lots of red speckles! Very pretty! Females usually plain (sometimes having red speckles).

Notes:

This darter is native to the Southeast and is fun to watch as it snaps up live and frozen foods! Give it some vegetation to dart around in!
