The egg-mimic darter (Etheostoma pseudovulatum) is a species of darter endemic to the eastern United States, where it is only known from the Duck River drainage of Tennessee.[1] It inhabits creeks and headwaters, living in pools with very slow current. This species can reach a length of 6.1 cm (2.4 in).[2] The fish's common name refers to round, fish egg-like yellow knobs projecting from its second dorsal fin.
