    Dogfish is a good idea. I used to breed aquarium fish (angelfish) with I was in college, and I also had a small collection of killifish. There are some native killis in Wisconsin and Minnesota:

    Killis in MN

    The banded killifish ( Fundulus diaphanus ) is found in the the St. Croix drainage basin:

    I’m not sure that the fins are right for a Killi, but the dorsal looked close and the general size/shape are correct.

    Brian, where did you get this fish? Did you report it to the DNR? If they are breeding, it’s a bad thing

    It’s not a dogfish….keep guessing

    Could it be a mud minnow?

    Must be from all that bullhead/catfish slime. Keeps the skin fresh and supple….

    You should drive south towards me. We can hit the water for a 1/2 day of Bassin’ and then finish off the day on the links golfing.

    I get them things in my minnow traps a little bit of everywhere.. I have always called them mud minnows like many other people.. I have no idea what they really are.. They do look almost exactly like a mini dogfish.. the scales are even similar.

    I put on in an aquarium for a while.. was one of my favorite fish.. it kept eating the tail off my fiance’s favorite little fat fish she bought at the aquarium shop for $10.

    OK then,
    Where did you get it?
    In your bait?
    Or at the pet store?

    OK save the flathead trip for next summer though. Damnable critters are big news on Potomac river this month barely heard of them in the great midwest
    news copy. It is a snakehead.

    And I was going to guess a cross between a smallmouth and a largemouth.

    Might as well be…huh… Kent? Just about as useless. Although I’ve heard large mouth make better fertalizer…do you know if this is true?

    Cat men are alwya on the edge. The cutting edge. I’ve haven’t heard either way, large or small mouth I thought the would be the same.
