That looks like a pupfish. they are related to live bearers and are extremly endangered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

You should make a positive ID on the internet, look at all the pupfish species and then contact your local Fsh & Wildlife so that they may remove it without harm.
 
Hey, I'm right by Visalia :cool:

Not sure what that fish is but stubby gave good advice. That would be pretty cool if it were an endangered fish. :hyper:
 
I checked into more info on pup fish and theiy do look somewhat alike the infor I have found states pupfish have rounded anal fins and this one is more of a V shaped anal fins

thanks for the help thus far
