Two characteristics can distinguish the golden shiner from all other minnows: (1) the lateral line has a pronounced downward curve, with its lowest point just above the pelvic fins; and (2) there is a fleshy keel lacking scales on the belly between the pelvic fins and the base of the anal fin.
The common shiner reaches sexual maturity by 1–2 years of age, and produces between 400 and 4000 eggs per year.

Common shiners often spawn over the nest of a creek chub, river chub, or fallfish, although some males will make their own small nests.

Smaller golden shiners appear more willing than larger ones to be near the front of the shoal, perhaps because they are hungrier. [85] Observations on the common roach have shown that food-deprived individuals tend to be at the front of a shoal, where they obtain more food [86] [87] but where they may also be more vulnerable to ambush predators ...
