Thumbs up, because I learned something new today! And, generally, because it's another great video.
What did I learn, you ask? I didn't know anything about Darters, so everything fact in this particular file of animal facts was new to me.
Thanks!

0:12 They're so pretty! I love their clear dorsal fins, tipped with translucent blue and orange and the bright orange stripes or belly. I've never heard of these fish before. So thank you for sharing your knowledge of them and posting this excellent video. ☺️🙏🕊

I think it's a shame that these beautiful fish aren't appreciated more in their native range!
