Im pretty sure its a lm. It could be a spotted bass, but lms are much more common, and they look very similar when there that small. Either way, its a nice looking fish!
I saw that on the thread a couple down. I am very excited for him to grow. He is so cool. Never hides and he has only been in the tank for a day! My bowfin still hates me but eats like a beast. I already have him eating frozen beefheart and bloodworms. I don't really have any pellets small enough for him though. I will try flakes later though. I have a pond that he will be going into next year. Most likely him and my bowfin will end up taking out all the other fish so it will probably be just him and the bowfin in a 800 gallon pond.
Sweet there is a little lake not to far from me that has a bunch of those little buggers just hanging out by the shore, We plan to fish it this weekend , they have a bunch of crappy rowboats there but no oars , but I'm still gonna jack one oh for the record I just mean take 1 and use it not steal it
