Cyprinella is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae, the carps and minnows. They are known as the satinfin shiners.[1] They are native to North America, and some are among the most common freshwater fish species on the eastern side of the continent.[2] Conversely, several Cyprinella species with small distributions are threatened and the Maravillas Creek subspecies of the red shiner (Cyprinella lutrensis blairi) is extinct.[3]
The largest species reach around 19cm (7.5in) in total length.[4] Breeding males often develop bright coloration.[2] Fish of the genus produce audible sounds during courtship and conflict.[5]
