Definitely spottail shiner. I have never attempted to keep them in a tank. A note of caution Lake Erie is VHS positive.
Oh I know, I've caught some fish out of there with VHS and they're not pretty. Though in my experience, it's not as severe as it's supposed to be, at least where I fish and snorkel.

I've always wanted to do a biotope based around the longnose dace that have adapted to the lake. They are a really neat species and different from what I usually find in streams. Using a reef tank wavemaker and having a rock shore up one side of the tank would make for a really cool tank.

Also, for a bottom dweller, you could try sculpin. Be careful, though; they could eat the rest of your stock if they are much bigger than the tankmates.

That's kind of what I was thinking of doing. I know the shoreline very well from snorkeling all over the lake since I was very young and was going to have a natural sand bottom with a gradule shore-like rock slope. A sculpin sounds like a good idea until it gets to large, but then those spottail shiners are pretty large up there as well.

Sounds like a cool tank idea!
