Cyprinella is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fish in the family Leuciscidae, the shiners, daces and minnows. They are known as the satinfin shiners.[2] They are native to North America, and some are among the most common freshwater fish species on the eastern side of the continent.[3] Conversely, several Cyprinella species with small distributions are threatened and the Maravillas Creek subspecies of the red shiner (Cyprinella lutrensis blairi) is extinct.[4]
The largest species reach around 19 cm (7.5 in) in total length.[5] Breeding males often develop bright coloration.[3] Fish of the genus produce audible sounds during courtship and conflict.[6]
