Thanks for posting that picture. Fallfish?I've caught plenty of those and they didn't look like ones that I've caught. Hmm most of these mouths turn up and the fish have a black line. Fallfish I've caught are usually always very silver large scales and a lil red in the tails. those fish i caught dont look like thisHere's a central Ma bridled. All the keys are visible in this pic.

Both Pimephales notatus and P. promelas, bluntnose and fathead minnows, have been introduced into Massachusetts. Check them out for matches.
ive caught fatheads in mass. thanks mike for that spot! but i have yet to catch the bluntnose. i do have bluntnose shiners in my other tanks that i collected in new york. if these are bluntnoses than thats a new species for me in the state!

in hartwells book it doesnt have this location listed for the fatheads. neither is the place mike showed me either. so thats cool finding a spot all by myself. bluntnoses are also shown way further west than where i was at.

The minnows are definately Luxilus sp. cornutusmost likely? The tall scales on the side of the body with cresents...large eye... rounded mouth etc. The suckers are whites.

Agree with darter1, most are Lux.cornutus, except that minnow over the rock with narrow black stripe.
thanks guys. still need to ID the bridle shiner imposter.

Any better pics?
I remember the bridle had a yellowy straw color and the scales stood out real distinct. Hard to tell in the pic but looks more silvery and fine scaled.
