Watercress darter!

An elusive fish only found in four springs in the Black Warrior River basin in Alabama. As its name implies, it enjoys living among and suspended on thick aquatic vegetation, often watercress.

Tangerine Darter

First sketch of 2024, in honor of a particular fish-loving friend.

May the year be kind, bring much good knowledge, and smooth adjustments to all finding themselves in new habitats.

The prettiest Logperch I caught while fishing a new creek. I would love to set up a tank to keep them at some point

Daily fish fact #761

Maryland darter!

The Maryland darter was the state of Maryland’s only endemic vertebrate, a rare fish with a very specific habitat of well-oxygenated rocky riffles, and supposedly only one single riffle in Deer Creek river. The last time the fish was spotted was in 1988, and due to this the Red Book lists this fish as extinct. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service still classifies it as endangered due to the fact that it has been spotted very few times, anyway.
