...I had a few of these years ago and they got a huge dorsal with the little extension on the lower rear portion of the dorsal, found this photo link which does not quite show the little extension but does show the size of the dorsal I remember. Could just depend on the population.
I think it might have to do with age as well now that I look at the same fish this spring... their dorsals are twice as long as they are tall... I was cleaning that tank today (with the C.leedsi and the E.amplamala and a few others)... and I noticed that those males have dramatically larger fins (and I know they are the same fish as no Cyprinella have been added in a few years). So I am going to go with older males get larger dorsals... and in unrelated news, the E.amplamala love having plants pulled up out of the dirt/sand they are miniature suckers cruising over the sand and sifting.

Age makes sense, probably why I can get really nice big steel color shiners after putting them in a really warm pond for the summer. They get lots of food and the warm temps speeds up their growth making them really big and fat after being already mature adults that I caught somewhere else.

Reviving this thread, I moved some fish around today and had the opportunity to photograph a male and (I think) female bannerfin... these are from the same population/collection that the other photo. The difference is that these fish have been living in a tank for three years. How do you like these Banners?
Oh, and Brian, if you read this, I would say that these C.leedsi are definitely in the "small Cyprinella" category... these were only three and a half or four inches max. But the male has been milky colored like this, with white tail tips, for over a year... I really like these guys as aquarium fish!

Your tank looks great. Needs nothing but fish. Some people run sponge filters over the intake piping but it's not a must. Unless I guess your going to have fry in there. Do you have any problems with the current Rolling off of the back glass and flowing in the opposite direction? I'm currently attempting this setup with a 20L. Tested it out today. It works pretty good but I noticed a little back flow. The tank is empty. I think once there is gravel and a couple of bigger rocks in place it will flow about perfect. Awesome Job once again looks good.
