The fish that started it all!

It rained for 3 days. Bad for us since there is a hole in the roof, but a great time to toss a crawfish trap in the drainage ditch. I caught 2 common minnows, 4 perch, a crawfish, and a mysterious minnow with tiger stripes. After a lot of searching on the internet, I identified minnow as a Sheepshead Minnow. I'll try to get better pictures of it later. Anyway, I ended getting a 3 gallon tank for my computer table and put my 'ditch fish' in it. The sheepshead minnow is my favorite. It's such a quirky little thing. It comes to my hand and nibbles on my fingers and lets me pet it. I have no idea id it's a male or female. It's the first one I've ever seen/caught.
