Identify your North American Native Fish

[andyjs]

Ok here's one. They are preserved laboratory specimens, but you should still be able to ID them. (Yes, they are the same fish, but I'm still expecting someone not to read this and post 2 answers)

thicktail chub

or melanistic tench?

At the first, i thought it was thicklips chub then get more deep thoughts, the fish appeared to be either Rhinichthys or Campostoma species by based on shape of the fins and the mouth. Also based on the fin placement. Its possible that they are females. Def not melanistic tench as they doesnt have large scales.

One of those is the correct genus

Then i gonna guess that it is Campostoma species known as stoneroller. Central stoneroller?
