Get to know the Laurel Dace, a Tennessee native named for the mountain laurel that covers the streams where it lives. You'll love this handsome fish with the gold, yellow, black and tan ensemble and splash of red on their lips. This endangered Southern Appalachian fish is an emblem of a very special place and what it means to live as part of a community and watch out for your neighbors, both above and below the water. Anna George from the Tennessee Aquarium and Emily Granstaff/Warren Styles join from our U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Tennessee Ecological Services Field Office.
