A golden shiner observed in the Mullica River, New Jersey. Though it has been known to reach lengths of 30 cm (12 in), in the wild the golden shiner is usually between 7.5 and 12.5 cm (3.0 and 4.9 in) long. The body is laterally compressed (deep-bodied). The back is dark green or olive, and the belly is a silvery white.
The Golden shiner will usually be found in calm quiet waters such as lakes, ponds, and sloughs with aquatic vegetation. Their diet will usually consist of crustaceans, algae, insects, and plankton. Golden shiners will grow to be about 3–7 inches in length but are known to exceed 12 inches in length.

The common shiner reaches sexual maturity by 1–2 years of age, and produces between 400 and 4000 eggs per year. Common shiners spawn in spring between May and June, at temperatures of 16–26 °C (61–79 °F). Common shiners often spawn over the nest of a creek chub, river chub, or fallfish, although some males will make their own small nests.
