Red Shiner, Cyprinella lutrensis Appearance and Identification: · Deep, compressed body with a terminal mouth · Breeding males have tubercles on their head, sides, and fins More

The red shiner (Cyprinella lutrensis) is a hardy, widespread minnow native to the middle and southwestern United States and Mexico (Figure 1). More

The red shiner is very aggressive and where introduced may dilute the gene pools of native Cyprinella via hybridization (Mayden 1989; Burkhead 2003). The red shiner is hybridizing with the blacktail shiner C. venusta stigmatura in Alabama (Mettee et al. More

Red shiners are adapted to, and most frequently found in, unstable environments that other species may have difficulty surviving in. This includes intermittent streams and highly disturbed, polluted areas like drainage ditches and certain reservoirs. More
