Hello everyone,

I took the following video in the Humber River Watershed in Ontario, Canada. Because I stink at I.Ding minnows, the only thing I could decipher from this video was a nice Brook Stickleback and a Juvenile White Sucker, So any fish that you could I.D (other than mentioned) I would be greatly thankful. It's recommended to watch the entire video first as a few individuals swim really close to the camera.

Thanks in Advance,
Lev.

Here's The Video:

The one at the end MIGHT have been a blacknose dace and some of the shiners look like they are a Luxilus sp. (either common or striped shiners) but that is some serious guessing because it is not very clear so take it for what it's worth. I do think you are correct on the white sucker and Brook Stickleback, I can clearly see those two.

creek chub when the one swam by the camera I saw the spot on the dorsal fin
did I see a percia darter in the corner the first 30 seconds?
I think striped I have both common and striped and when you look at them side by side you can see the little differences

You have a good eye. It was a darter, albeit a small individual. There are Johnny and Tesselateds in this river, and I've seen the Johnny's get 3 inches long. I reckon that was either one of those species. :-D
