The arrow darter (Etheostoma sagitta) is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish, a darter from the subfamily Etheostomatinae, part of the family Percidae, which also contains the perches, ruffes and pikeperches. It is found in parts of Kentucky and Tennessee, particularly in the Cumberland and Kentucky Rivers.[3] These small fish are part of the perch family.[3] They grow to be about 4.5 inches (11 cm) in length.[3] Their opercle, breast, and cheek are all unscaled.[4] They have a vertical black bar at the base of their caudal fin.[4] Six to nine vertical banded bars run down the side of the fish. The dorsal side of the fish is olive green in color, and the ventral side is a yellow to white pattern.[4] The first dorsal fin has a black base, followed by green color, and then a reddish-orange end.[4] The second dorsal is clear with two rows of laterally lined orange spots.[4] The caudal fin is clear and has two-three vertical lines of orange spots.[4] The anal fin has a green base and then clear at the end.[4] The breeding male has bright orange-red spots and breeding tubercles present on the scales.[4]
