While vacationing at a spring in Florida, I found a wild minnow (or
small fish) that was black with gold spots. I would like to find some for
sale. Anyone know what it might be?

Kind of a long shot, but might it be this fish?

Small size and neat colors/patterning made me think of darters in
general. These north American natives make excellent aquarium fish, at
least according to native-fish fans. There's a company that sells
darters for aquaria: http://www.btdarters.com .

Of course it needn't have been a native; fish get introduced from
everywhere to everywhere, it seems.
