Ducky Shiner (Notropis cummingsae)

    The Dusky Shiner is a member of the family Cyprinidae, the carp family, they are easily recognized by their relative short length along with the dark colored stripe which runs horizontally down the length of its body.

    The Dusky prefers to live in slow moving backwaters with plenty of detritus and vegetation. 

    When I tried looking up information on this species, I struggled to find much of anything; according to one source that I managed to find not much is known about this fish.
