Blackside Darter (Percina maculata)

chonhzilla

This fish is very shy, but very neat to watch if you can see him during the day. He feeds on left over food and moves around very cautiously on the bottom foraging through moss and between plants. At night with a moon light he moves around carefully inspecting floor of the tank and rests on pieces of drift wood waiting for food to float by. He's not nocturnal, just shy. If you are lucky enough to find one get it. Very neat fish to watch.
