Would love to have some input on the identification of this darter. Thanks in advance for your time! Found in Tennessee, Cumberland River drainage.

Cumberland Arrow Darter, Etheostoma sagitta. That's a young male. They are known in only 10 counties, 8 in KY and 2 in TN. Please tell me you put it back. #1, that is a sensitive fish. #2 TN laws says you cannot remove it from the streamside.

Yes, kybatman did release this fish and the other one, and has the proper permits for this work. He hadn't seen either of these species before and wanted to confirm their identification. Thanks all.
