I thought Dredcon had it for sure.

Are you trying to call that "thing" Crassa? ;-) The independent blotches are giving me a hard time.

 

[ksiaquatics]

Nope, not crassa or notogramma. You guys ready for the hint?

 

[dredcon]

coastal shiner?

coastal shiner?

Good guess. It would have been mine as well had I been in your shoes.

How about now?

 

[teleost]

nevisense ?

I know nothing about that fish.

Nice photos!

edit:I was just guessing and finally found a photos of a chainback. I don't think I'm right on this one.

That's it. We got these from the upper Dan.

lenticula?

I don't believe I've ever seen that fish before (whatever it is).

I'd like to give credit to RJMTX on the "rosyface shiner" I posted a few pages back. I've been reviewing this and even though the fish had red at the base of it's dorsal fin, it's N. atherinoides. So he got it right on the first guess and then worked around my mistake to still get it right. Thanks for not making fun of me guys and gals.

Thanks. I feel much better now.
