[quote calepo]I need help identifying this baby fish. I recently had a pond installed in my backyard and the landscaper added some plants that he harvested from a local river and then these baby fish started showing up. (Eggs attached to roots?) Thanks for your help!
Oh, it would probably help is I gave you a location. I live in Southern California and the plants came from the Kern River area.[/quote]
You got lucky .... that looks like a Black Crappie fry ...
edit: here is a pick of a black crappie from the Kern River reserve...
