About This Fish

The Rock Darter is found throughout the Mobile Basin in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Tennessee. As the common name suggests, the Rock Darter lives in fast, rocky riffles in creeks to medium rivers. Breeding male Rock Darters develop bright green coloration on their head, side, and fins.
