Earlier this summer I went micro-fishing in a small mountain stream in the New River drainage. I was hoping to get some clarification with these fish. I believe they are a warpaint shiner, rosyside dace, and redlip shiner respectively.  Screenshot_20171004-184847.png   1.23MB   3 downloads  Screenshot_20171004-184854.png   1.4MB   4 downloads

I dont see a third pic, but your first 2 IDs are correct.

They are, and you guys have crazy big largemouth rosyside's down that way.

Sorry, here is the third picture. I'm struggling with this whole upload limit and not being able to edit/replace old photos with smaller, resized ones.  20170703_102052-756x1008.jpg   136.15KB   3 downloads

There are some free & easy to use photo editors online that you can reduce the file size of your original pictures.  That way you'll get to post a few more pictures before you run out of space.  But, the best way to post more pictures is to become a member.  You can start your own gallery and keep all your ID's in there.  There are some great photographers in NANFA.  You have nice in-hand pictures.

3rd fish might be a saffron shiner.  What river basin?

PhotoScape is a nice free, easy editing software for resizing, brightness, color balance ..

Gerald, the New River in North Carolina/Virginia. It looks just like the saffron shiner posted in "VA/NC microfishing trip" here on the forum.
