Description

Meet a miniaturized group of brightly-colored fishes (jet black and electric blue anyone??) with a wiggle-waggle dance and love for tea-colored blackwaters, springs, and submerged aquatic vegetation. Find all seven species in the Southeastern U.S., including the Spring Pygmy Sunfish (a threatened Alabama endemic). Guests Mike Sandel and David Pounders join from Mississippi State University to spill all the tea about these fish.
