I'm thinkin' Ranger Bob is all over this one. Redline are variable =
little suckers, like by the second. You may have only had one species, =
but with the variability. Here's some shots Jeff took when we were on =
our Spring Fling (named "redline" etc).

Spotted darter will have very distinct spot patterns, with the long =

Now that I think about it the brown mottling and the brown bands along =
the fin margins look exactly right for a red line. I didnt think of =
that-in-all, well because no where else were they red, except that lip =
smudge and the fine spots. I would have thought they would have had some =
red on their fines especially those two margins on the dorsal fin, but =
they didnt. There was the paired caudal spot though so I guess they just =
weren't in color. I am starting to think I had two species of fish now =
though ...hm....Thanks much Ranger Bob.
