Candy darter

Candy darters are a small freshwater fish native to the Gauley, Greenbrier and New River watersheds in Virginia and West Virginia.? Following a review of the best available scientific information, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed to list the candy darter as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Nearly half of the 35 known candy darter populations have disappeared since the species was first described in 1932.
