Crap!

Best if we keep this one among friends, right "Shoeless Dave"?

Good eye, Tom.

Hey Michael,

Have you been taking fish ID lessons from Phil? ;)

The fish has ~30 lateral line scales, which would exclude any potential
Moxostoma/Minytrema, and look how far forward on the body the anal fin is...
There's no submarginal dusky streak on the lower lobe of the caudal, which
most silver chubs (Macrhybopsis storeriana) have... I think Tom was on the
right track, my vote is for Sabine shiner, Notropis sabinae.

cheers,
Dave
