Thanks Casper, I just sent you an email
Dave, having lots of experience with helping new bird watchers, I really appreciate your help. It can be tempting at times just to give the answer and list a few reasons why, but it is so much better for the asker to research things out for himself.
I've been going back and forth between Longnose Dace and Largescale Stoneroller, but I'm thinking that they are stonerollers because of the lack of a spot at the base of the caudal fin on all of the individuals, plus the mouth shape doesn't seem right (I'm having trouble putting the exact reason into words, Longnose Dace seem to have a really long snout that projects beyond the lower jaw versus stonerollers having the upper jaw curve onto the lower jaw). As for the fish in the lower left of the second picture, I don't remember why I decided it looked like a young river chub. I posted that late last night after a long day of field work.

What I'm having trouble deciding is whether it's even a different species or just an unusually dark individual.
I am now quite confident that the fourth one is a Largescale Stoneroller, it definitely has that nice stoneroller mouth (that I assume is more distinct since it is an older individual). With this and all of the above I am going with Largescale simply because of range. The fish of TN doesn't have the species split yet so going by that reference it would be Central Stoneroller.
I am also becoming quite confident with Saffron Shiner. They all have darkly outlined scales extending below the lateral line, and the dark stripe on the rear half of the side. The two on the left have a dark scapular bar, but the individual on the right (male?) seems to be lacking this which is really confusing me since everything else lines up nicely.
Thanks again for all the help! I've learned a lot in the past 24 hrs!
