Another photo from the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher. I think this is a Tessellated Darter (if I'm looking at the right label for that tank).  Sorry I don't have a better view, he was apparently just too comfy to turn around.

From that angle it looks more like a hogsucker than anything else, but...........

Hogsucker?? Who comes up with these names??
Would that be the northern hogsucker?  (looking at photos online)

[fundulus]

Probably. Or it could be some other sucker too, the flat head is diagnostic of suckers like the hogsucker.

Like some Tennesseans call them, the box-head trout.  Square head is great indicator of the hogsuckers.
