Need an ID on this fish please!

[Dispatch273]

This was in the tank with some ghost shrimp...the guy at the lfs put him in with some minnows for me. He said they sometimes get them in with the shrimp but have no idea what they are. Anyone have any ideas what this fish is? He seems pretty neat!

Some kind of darter.

That is a darter

I could give you more accurate results but the picture is blurry

 

[Dispatch273]

Thanks! I'll try to get better pics tonight now that he/she is settled.

 

[Dispatch273]

Here are some updated pictures. Hope they help ID this darter!

Thanks again!

Sweet Darter. Keep him in cool water with plenty of current and aeration and he'll do great. Probably best fed on brine shrimp and the like. Good luck, always wanted one

If you want him I can send him to you and probably pick you up a few more. I don't have the proper environment to keep him even though he is awfully cute! Pm me and let me know if you want him!

I caught a darter yesterday.

Most likely a Swamp Darter which is common darter species found in ghost shrimp shipments.
