Cyprinella
''Cyprinella'' is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae, the carps and minnows. They are known as the satinfin shiners. They are native to North America, and some are among the most common freshwater fish species on the eastern side of the continent.Broughton, R. E. and J. R. Gold. (2000)Phylogenetic relationships in the North American cyprinid genus ''Cyprinella'' (Actinopterygii: Cyprinidae) based on sequences of the mitochondrial ND2 and ND4L genes.''Copeia'' 2000(1) 1-10. Conversely, several ''Cyprinella'' species with small distributions are threatened and the Maravillas Creek subspecies of the red shiner (''Cyprinella lutrensis blairi'') is extinct. The largest species reach around in total length. Breeding males often develop bright coloration. Fish of the genus produce audible sounds during courtship and conflict.Phillips, C. T. and C. E. Johnston. (2008)Geographical divergence of acoustic signals in ''Cyprinella galactura'', the whitetail shiner (Cyprinidae).''Animal ...

Cyprinella Lutrensis
The red shiner or red-horse minnow (''Cyprinella lutrensis'') is a North American species of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae. They are deep-bodied and laterally compressed,Farringer R.T., III, A.A. Echelle, and S.F. Lehtinen. 1979.

''Transactions of the American Fisheries Society,'' 108, 271-276. and can grow to about three inches in length. For most of the year, both males and females have silver sides and whitish abdomens. Males in breeding coloration, though, have iridescent pink-purple-blue sides and a red crown and fins (except the dorsal fin which remains dark). Red shiners can live up to three years. They are omnivorous; they eat both aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates, as well as algae. Red shiners have also been known to eat the eggs and larvae of native fish found in locations where they have been introduced.Ruppert, J.B., Muth, R.T., Nesler, T.P. (1993). P ...

Cyprinella Caerulea
The blue shiner (''Cyprinella caerulea'') is a species of fish in the carp family.

This is a federally listed threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of the United States. Geographic distribution ''C. caerulea'' is endemic to the basin of the Mobile River. Because of population declines, it is now restricted to the Coosa River system in four disjunct populations in northeast Alabama, northwest Georgia, and southeast Tennessee.Stephens, C.M. and Mayden, R.L., ''Threatened Fishes of the World: Cyprinella caerulea Jordan, 1877 (Cyprinidae).'' Environmental Biology of Fishes 55(3) (1999): 264. Within the Coosa River system, the fish was native to Choccolocco Creek, the Little River, Weogufka Creek, and Big Wills Creek in Alabama; the Coosawattee River the Oostanaula River in Georgia, and the Conasauga River in Georgia and Tennessee.

Cyprinella Alvarezdelvillari
The Tepehuan shiner (''Cyprinella alvarezdelvillari'') is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to Mexico. It was described as a new species from a stream in the headwaters of Nazas River in Arroyo del Péñon Blanco, upstream of Peñón Blanco, Durango. The specific name honors Dr. José Alvarez del Villar, the "founder of modern Mexican ichthyology". The Tepehuan shiner is a small species that can grow up to standard length Fish measurement is the measuring of individual fish and various parts of their anatomies.

Its physical characteristics include a bright orange/ yellow tail and a black spot on the base of the tail. They have the largest breeding tubercles of the genus Cyprinella. They also have horny projections on their head and body that aid in spawning. They are observed spawning in crevices between rocks. The mouth on the bottom of the head suggests bottom feeding. This species has diamond shaped scales and a compressed body. References * ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cyprinella Bocagrande
The largemouth shiner (''Cyprinella bocagrande'') is a critically endangered species of cyprinid fish. It is found only in the Guzmán Basin in northwestern Chihuahua, Mexico, where it is called ''sardinita bocagrande''. In 2012, it only survived in a single spring, which also was the last remaining habitat for the Carbonera pupfish (''Cyprinodon fontinalis'') and the dwarf crayfish '' Cambarellus chihuahuae''. As this single spring was declining, it was decided to move some individuals of all three species to a nearby refuge in 2014 as a safeguard.
