Portrait of the Olympic Mudminnow

The Olympic Mudminnow (Novumbra hubbsi). Washington's Only endemic fish.

A wonderful scientific image of a male Olympic mudminnow. USFWS biologist Roger Tabor left no detail forgotten. Look through your fish guides and you will notice that fish always face left when illustrated! New fun fact of the day!
