Your fish is a johnny darter (Etheostoma nigrum). WI does have a similar species, E. chlorosoma; however, there range is rather limited and they are not found in Fox River.

No..that fish is "funky".Is the nose bump the trait to distinguish Johnnys from Tesselates?

I heard somewhere that the species got its name because of one kept as a pet named Johnny. Apparently keeping darters goes back quite a ways.

I love these guys... they seem to be adapting well to take life.. already have flashing of the male to the female to entice her!

If you don't already have them, set up some small caves in your tank. They spawn on the underside of rocks etc... and the male will guard the eggs. He will also get bold vertical bands on his sides and his head will turn jet black as he displays for the the female.

Does that show breeding interest?
