JohnF52 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I netted this minnow out of the small creek that runs through our land. They seem to eat algae off of rocks on the bottom, and will flash brightly when they turn sideways to feed. They also seem to hide under rocks. About 2 to 3 inches long, and travel in small schools. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoglaw Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I thought it was a creek chub, but maybe stoneroller is right. Now I'm not sure what a creek chub is. I have tons of them in my creek. The smallmouth love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stump bumper Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I would say they are very close to the chub listed here, that is also a member of the carp family. Chub.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnF52 Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 I think it is an Ozark Minnow. If I ever catch another (creek flooded last week, don't see any now) I will get a better picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
