It is ubiquitous throughout much of Eurasia , from Britain and Spain to eastern Siberia , predominantly in cool (12–20 °C (54–68 °F)) streams and well ...
There are over 177 species of fish in the US state of Oklahoma, at least 7% of which are not native. [1]Species include: Alabama shad (Alosa alabamae); Alligator gar (Atractosteus spatula)
Semotilus atromaculatus, known as the creek chub or the common creek chub, is a small minnow, a freshwater fish found in the eastern US and Canada.Differing in size and color depending on origin of development, the creek chub can usually be defined by a dark brown body with a black lateral line spanning horizontally across the body.
The plains minnow (Hybognathus placitus) is one of the 324 fish species found in central United States . It is a large minnow that was once a common bait fish. The plains minnow requires shallow, slow-moving streams to complete its life cycle. Pollution, dams, and introduced sport fish have caused populations to decline. [3]
This minnow is typically bluish silver on the sides and greenish blue on the back., save for breeding season in which case the male gains a rose colored tail and anal fin. The shiner grows about 5–10 cm (2–4 in) within one year and reach a size of 13 cm (5.1 in) at adulthood. [5] Notropis potteri is known as the chub shiner.

The water quality changes and the minnow are impacted when natural plant life is taken away. Any type of construction such as road work, new homes and other types of development can affect the habitat in which the Topeka shiner lives.
