DESCRIPTION:	River Runt Spook: Red gill mark and black dot on either side of head. Silver spine and body with green scale pattern, white belly, and yellow eye. Most versions of this color came in a yellow eye though there are known gold eye versions as illustrated by the Midget River Runt shown in the picture. This is a cataloged color for River Runt Spooks starting in 1946. In 1973, the color changed to Green Shad (GSD) and has a much darker green scale pattern and orange eye. The bottom one is a variation that has been found that has two red gill marks instead of one. The green color is much darker than the one just above it and has a different shade of yellow for the eye. (Picture of the gold eye Midget courtesy of Seth Winger!)
