Weed Shiner (Notropis texanus)? This fish is from Maple Slough Ditch, in Mississippi County, down in the Bootheel. This was not an official convention spot.

From Charrette Creek, (Warren County) which was an official convention stream though we hit it much closer to the Missouri River than the designated spot. Bigeye Shiner (Notropis boops)?

The first one is a Lythrurus of some variety. The Pimephales is a Pimephales but no idea which one. I assume you posted the last one for Josh's amusement.

3rd (boops?) i'd guess a Luxilus (bleeding, cardinal, striped?) and 4th looks like a "true" Notropis - maybe weed. But really I dunno squat about MO species.

Striped for the Luxilius. I would guess the last one is bigeye (boops).

First two pictures (same fish) Eastern Redfin Shiner, Lythrurus umbratilis cyanocephalus, probably female.
Third pic I forgot to send him.
Fourth fish is a Bigeye Shiner, Notropis boops.
Photo five is Pimphales notatus.
Last fish is Notropis nubilus, Ozark Minnow.
Sooooo, if you look at the fish in each individual photo as relating to my guesses, I did ok; 3 right, 2 wrong, 1 forgot to send the photo. Pretty good by my standards!
