First off the only reason i did not put this in the ID section is because i have no picture (and no way of taking a decent quality picture) whatsoever.

 

anyway, i was just gifted a group of shiners, they seem to mostly common shiners, but some could be golden, so could someone please show some pictures comparing both adults and juveniles of common and golden shiners.
