“A very beautiful and compact little fish, perfect in all its parts, looking like a brilliant coin fresh from the mint.”
– David Jordan and Barton Evermann American Food and Game Fishes 1905.

Amusing quote, and fitting when you check out this close up thanks to the little fish’s curiosity. Congratulations to Flickr participant ‘J.R.Cummings’ for this featured series taken yesterday, submitted to State of the Environment!
