It is a central mudminnow. Very native and very non invasive. There are two other closely related species in North America, the eastern and Olympic mudminnows. They are actually closely related to the Esox family of fish(think pikes, pickerels, musky). They only reach about 5" but can be a bit predecious as they have a decent sized mouth. They are pretty good forage fish. Michigan has lots of them. I even electroshocked them up near Alpena in the Thunder bay watershed when I was studying fisheries. My prof wanted me to find a totally new way to age fish. Yeah right... When I couldn't I got a 'B' on the paper. Or was it a 'C?'

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
