Need help ID'ing this species

It's some kind of darter. I caught two of these while fishing with nightcrawlers yesterday. My first thought was fingerling muskies because of the vertical bands, but after looking at some google images I ruled that out. I put both of them in my aquarium, but unfortunaly they both died within the first hour. I remember catching rainbow darters with a net when I was a kid, and never being able to keep them alive in our fish tank either. Maybe they're just not able to handle the change in environment.
