its gotta be common shiner or blacknose dace. i just wanna know what im feeding my pickerel. these guys looked a little different from the sucker fry i collect. i also dont know how sunfish fry look like but if it was a sunfish it would be redbreast.

this is the river.
i was under the impression blacknose were in fast clear streams....this is a slow rocky silty river.

I found some fry the other day, no idea what they are.. and I had to leave them as I couldn't ID them.. I believe they were starhead topminnows. Those are protected in our state, so I wanted to leave for that sake.

That is their preferred habitat but I've seen them in lakes and even ponds so being in a river wouldn't surprise me much. The fry do look like blacknose dace to me as well.

I actually would say those are fall fish out of the choices you gave. They do not appear to be blacknose dace. They look to have a fairly deeply forked tail with pointed lobes, not something a blacknose dace would have.
