Identify this fish
well as some of you may now, i have a 135 long ( 72 18 24 high in my basement well a few years back, i was in a creek and there were these fish. so i caught a few and they had rows of teeth  i thought they were pretty neat. so i caught the smallest ones i could find cuz it was getting close to winter so i thought ide "save" them. So i took a few home and here a few years later i still have them. i took a few pictures of them

This looks similar to what would commonly be called in Indiana a chub or bait minnow. I would have no idea what its scientific name would be.

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky went hunting? Well anyway, Brasky decides he's gonna hunt down all four members of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all beg for their lives, except Fleagul.

You might contact someone from the North American Native Fish Association that lives in the area that you collected the fish. Many of the "minnows" can look alike except for things like scale counts - so knowing the area that the fish was collected is very important.

I second that. Sell them for feeders all day long.

they all died except 1 about a week ago. they went into the overflow box. through the tubes. down into the sump. and into the return pump.
clogged the return pump then we managed to get it to work and not knowing fish were in it during it.
then we go to the front of the tank to see fish bits shot all over the tank from the return pipe
lets just say it was not fun cleaning

You should have seen what happened to me the first time I tried to frag mushrooms..... I began by cutting the slimy buggers up carefully, carefully placing them in the tupperware container, carefully filling it with water, carefully laying it back in the tank........... only to bang my elbow, drop the container and watch every one of them float out of it and under my live rock. Yea, they grew. Not on the rock I wanted. It was a funny sight I am sure.

They are best used as bait for catching crappie.

I used some last week for stripe. Caught about 15. Agreed though, crappie love them. may go get some tonight. I have a pond on my Father in law's land that is stock full of them. good sized crappie too, not those little bitty ones. Mmmmmm might just have fish for dinner.
