I think the topminnow is a lined but I don't know where the distribution is.  The Pteronotropis must be stonei, but I also am not sure about that.  Hopefully, Michael can help you out there.

There's definitely C. venusta there and I think the Notropis is the coosa shiner.  There's also a Hybopsis there that I have no idea on.

[Matt DeLaVega]

Don't know either, but the Hybopsis is a really distinctive fish.

I didn't think I had that many species, the creeks were full of Madtoms too Dustin, I didn't get any pics but assumed they were Speckled Madtoms.

I think this is the possible Halloween Darter. He was in deeper water with swift current and the only one I caught like that.

And here is a clearer one of the Topminnow. In my Peterson book the Lined isn't on the range map for my area.

[Michael Wolfe]

I agree with Dustin that one of those looks like a Halloween darter. And all those creek chub looking things are Dixie Chubs almost for sure based on where you were.

Also a nice P. grandipinnis. And weed shiners I also see in there. And of course some of those shiners are C. venusta

It's P. grandipinnis (I sent him to the type locality).

Weed shiner

Little Patsilia Creek here.

I think this one might be N. longirostrus (probably spelled that wrong). Pretty sure we got them at this site. Particularly if you were over sand.

Thanks for those Michael, and the spots of course too. So far from what you've said, I caught: Dixie Chubs, Blacktail, Weed and Appalachee Shiners, Longnose Shiner and Halloween Darters, is that correct? Also are all the other Darters Blackbandeds or something else?

Michael, is Ericymba there?  I can see something below the eye that looks like the Ericymba structure.

 

That's a great site.  Several species I have never seen.  

[centrarchid]

Where are the Bluegill?

I dont know for sure... I would have to check my past records... but they are sometimes found with the N. longirostus over sand (confusing naming Longnose shiner and Longjaw minnow and then they are even in the same waters (ACF in general).  But I see what you are saying... that one might actually be N. amplamala... or E. amplamala if you like... I still see it different in different places.  Fishmap does not show them in the upper Flint, but I know that we saw them in Chattahoochee tributaries not too much south and west of there, so seems possible/likely.

Caught these just now, small creek near Jonesboro. I think one is a Bluefin Stoneroller?

1-too small

2-too small

3-stoneroller probably bluefin if you are in the Ocmulgee drainage

4-Bluehead chub
