This fish was caught in Robinson creek in Markham, Ontario. I had been catching countless Creek chubs and didn't think to take a better photograph than the one I have here. Now that I look at it again, it looks like it could be some kind of dace, or it could still be another one of the creek chubs.

Probably just a goofy looking creek chub, but if not, maybe a pearl dace??
(I've never seen one - just guessing). I'm pretty sure its not a fallfish; scales look too small.

looks like a creek chub to me but i cannot see the dorsal fin spot to be certain. Creek chubs have alot of appearance variation, sometimes even in the same net scoop.

Thank-you for the help guys. Unfortunately, this photo was taken a year ago and it is the only picture I snapped of this fish (I know better now).
