1 and 7 - undescribed shiner most closely related to greenhead shiner. They were yellowfins for forever and are being worked on now.
2, 6 and possibly 3 - Greenfin shiner
4-5 - Swallowtail shiner
8 - Eastern silvery minnow
9, 14 - Seagreen darter
10 - ??? Maybe swallowtail
11-13 - Either flat or snail bullhead. Flats are more common in the piedmont streams like that so it's probably a flat
15 - Margined madtom
16 - Eastern mudminnow. You are not likely to find any bowfin that size this time of year. You see them that size in February and March.
I'm surprised you didn't see any bluehead chubs, sandbar shiner, spottail shiner or Santee chubs there. Those are usually the 4 most common species. I haven't been there since the flood lat year though so maybe the stream has changed. That's one of my favorite spots.

I got a ton of Spottails and Bluehead Chubs but didn't post them since I knew what they were. With the first species of Yellowfin/Greenhead Shiner, is that in the process of becoming a new species? I think Gerald informed me about that a few months back.
Was a great spot, wish I had more time to spend there, I needed a whole day for that spot.

Yes, the yellowfin/greenhead is in the process of potentially being made a new species. I call it the Piedmont shiner for the time being since it will likely be endemic to SC.
