Re: help to ID
It could be a little darter. Does it ever 'perch' on its pectoral fins to balance, or curve its body when resting? Did you buy it or catch it?

Re: help to ID
caught them. yes they perch, almost like they are standing. they seem to hop around rather than swim most of the time. thanks for responding. Ill look into darters, i was thinking some kind of sculpin.

Re: help to ID
If you caught him in Illinois, I'd say it is a Least Darter, Etheostoma microperca. Try this link, looks like your guy.

Re: help to ID
Your most welcome! They are very cool little fish, make great aquarium pets. I have two darters from florida. They are very entertaining, eat well, peaceful. I just love they way they hop around on the bottom. They are not long lived. But sounds like you have a ready source if you would like more. Congrats on the find!
