I would say that the first fish is a shadow bass, and the second is a gulf darter.

The first two little sunfish you have there are shadow bass (Ambloplites ariommus), the first darter is a rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum) like you suggested, and the last darter in the bottom two pictures is I think the gulf darter(Etheostoma swaini). I am not 100% on these ID's but it will at least get you headed in the right direction, and I am sure some people will know exactly what you have. I really have minimal experience with fish outside of my state. Nice fish and pictures!

Thanks,

Blake

The darters look to all be the same individuals in different photos. Rainbow darters have a pretty minimal range in Louisiana, and gulf darters have a much wider range, on top of which the fish look like gulfs. But they certainly look like rainbows at first glance.

I agree, great looking fish, but they're not Rainbow Darters. That orange belly is one of the things that made this ID simpler.

Yeah, my bad I overlooked the fact that they are all the same fish, so trust two of my ID's, gulf darter and shadow bass. :smile2:

Those don't look like swaini to me. At least not the Mississippi version of E. swaini.

I know somebody who would LOVE some shadow bass!

Thanks so much for the help on this , I know you asked for a picture first, but i was afraid if i sent the pic youd back out of the deal, so i boxed the old lady up today and shipped her to you via common carrier, freight prepaid, Also i didnt feed her for a couple of days so the mess should be minimal :laugh:

Amazon, you didn't have to post a new post to tell them it was from your pond. Edit Button :wink:

. And the bass seems to be doing well, despite the whole really-tiny-not-able-to-acclimate-well-3/4"-ness. And sorry for thread-jacking your thread, AnThOnY. Amazon had to go and bring up the new bass. :dry:
