A golden shiner observed in the Mullica River, New Jersey. Though it has been known to reach lengths of 30 cm (12 in), in the wild the golden shiner is usually between 7.5 and 12.5 cm (3.0 and 4.9 in) long. The body is laterally compressed (deep-bodied). The back is dark green or olive, and the belly is a silvery white.
Shiner is a common name used in North America for any of several kinds of small, usually silvery fish, in particular a number of cyprinids, but also e.g. the shiner perch (Cymatogaster aggregata). Cyprinid shiners are: Eastern shiners, genus Notropis; Finescale shiners, genus Lythrurus; Flagfin shiners, genus Pteronotropis
The common shiner reaches sexual maturity by 1–2 years of age, and produces between 400 and 4000 eggs per year. Common shiners spawn in spring between May and June, at temperatures of 16–26 °C (61–79 °F). Common shiners often spawn over the nest of a creek chub, river chub, or fallfish, although some males will make their own small nests.
The River shiner usually has a diet that consists of invertebrates and terrestrial insects. River shiners are a typical length of 3–4 inches but can reach a length of 5 inches. [46] LC Found in the Hudson Bay and Mississippi River basins. Drainages include the Lake Michigan and Red River drainages. Golden shiner: Notemigonus crysoleucas
Smaller golden shiners appear more willing than larger ones to be near the front of the shoal, perhaps because they are hungrier.
