Nice fish. Are you keeping the hogsucker? The first fish may be E. obesus. Did you collect it yourself?
No, we didn't keep the hogsucker. It was rather large and I don't have the right setup for one. We did collect that Enneacanthus and it is the one in the ID section that I had problems with.
First fish looks like a definite gloriosus to me. The "gilt" doesn't look like a gilt to me? Is there something else it could be?
I'm starting to think the same about the E. gloriosus. Is it a female? It looks and acts different than the other bluespotted that I have.
Regarding the gilt, I believe it is a female gilt darter. We collected it with other gilt darters. Similar fish would be the blackside darter but I don't believe it to be that.

It would be great to try and get these fish established as captive bred stock...

BL, I'm setting up a tank specifically for breeding them. They usually spawn in the nests of various chubs. I've read that they will spawn over gravel though so I'm crossing my fingers.

Could be a female, or just juvenile coloration. I have not noticed a difference in how males and females act, in obesus or gloriosus. I sure wish chaetodon would give it up more easily.

Do you have any other pictures of your other E. Gloriosus that you could post Drewish? I'm curious to see what they look like.

Dustin, maybe this is why it looks off?
The gilt darter described from Indiana in 1877, and the southern P. palmaris compose the subgenus Ericosma. Of the three subspecies of the gilt darter, P. e. evides occurs in Virginia. The other two can be regarded as formally described by Denoncourt in 1969

Element, I will see if I can find or get a good one.

You're probably right. It just looks different from the ones we get in the French Broad in SW NC.
