It is widely distributed in the Mobile basin, below the Fall Line in Alabama and Mississippi, with disjunct populations occur in the Yellow Creek system of the Tennessee River drainage in northern Mississippi, in the headwaters of the Hatchie River system in northern Mississippi and southwestern Tennessee, and in the Skuna River system of the Yazoo drainage in northern Mississippi.
The river shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis. It is found in the United States and Canada, where it inhabits the Hudson Bay basin from Alberta to Manitoba, south through the Red Red River in Minnesota and North Dakota; and the Mississippi River basin from Wisconsin and Minnesota to Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, west to eastern Colorado, and east to West Virginia.
The greenhead shiner is a North American cyprinid fish, found in the Catawba River system or the Santee River drainage in North Carolina and South Carolina.

The wedgespot shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis. It is endemic to the United States, where it is found in the Ozark Uplands of the middle Arkansas River drainage of central Arkansas, northeastern Oklahoma, and southwestern Missouri. It is also found in the White, Black, and St. Francis river systems of northern Arkansas and southeastern Missouri, and the Meramec, Gasconade, and lower Osage river systems of eastern Missouri.
The longnose shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis.
The coastal shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis. It is endemic to the United States where it is found in Atlantic and Gulf slope drainages from the Cape Fear and Waccamaw river drainages, North Carolina, south to southern Florida, and west to Jordan River in Mississippi.
The chub shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis. it is found in the Brazos River drainage of Texas and Red River drainage of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana. It is also found in limited areas of the Mississippi River in Louisiana, and in lower parts of the Colorado River and Galveston Bay drainages.
The bedrock shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis. It is endemic to the United States, where it inhabits the lower Caney Fork system and nearby tributaries of the central Cumberland River drainage in Tennessee.
The Sabine shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis.
The silverband shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis. It is endemic to the United States, where it is found in the Mississippi River and main tributaries in lower Ohio, Arkansas, Louisiana to Illinois and South Dakota, and several Gulf slope drainages.
The rocky shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis. It is endemic to the United States where the species is known from tributaries of the Red River draining the Ouachita Mountains in southeastern Oklahoma and southwestern Arkansas, including several localities in the Kiamichi, Little and Muddy Boggy rivers. Its range extends west to the Blue River in Oklahoma, and east to the Cossatot River in Arkansas.
The weed shiner is a North American species of freshwater fish in the cyprinid genus Notropis. Prior to 1958, this species was named Notropis roseus.
The mimic shiner is a species of North American cyprinid freshwater fish in the genus Notropis. The genus Notropis is commonly known as the eastern shiners. It is native to areas of the Hudson Bay drainage, Great Lakes drainage, much of the Mississippi River basin including areas of Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, and regions of the Gulf of Mexico extending from Mobile Bay to the drainage of Texas. However, this particular species can be found in other places such as the Atlantic Coast drainage in Connecticut and Housatonic rivers. This genus is usually characterized by almost all having a complete lateral line, 8 dorsal fin rays, a premaxillae protactile, and a silvery or speckled peritoneum. As the common name indicates, this species is difficult to classify in the wild because it looks similar to many other shiners. In fact, some even hypothesize that this species is actually a complexity of many cryptic species. While this is the case, it is important to take more caution to not misidentify this species and to understand its impact on introduced areas.
Coosa shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis. It is endemic to the United States where it inhabits the Coosa and Tallapoosa river systems in the Mobile Bay drainage above the Fall Line in southeastern Tennessee, northwestern Georgia, and eastern Alabama.
The ghost shiner is a North American species of freshwater fish of the family Cyprinidae. It is generally characterized as being a small bodied, silvery and fusiform shaped cyprinid. Notropis buchanani is morphologically similar to and often mistaken for the Mimic Shiner, which is evident by its former classification as a subspecies of Notropis volucellus.
The blacktail shiner is a small freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae native to the United States.
The bantam sunfish is a species of freshwater fish in the genus Lepomis common throughout Louisiana, in extreme southeastern Texas, in southern Arkansas, and in a few places in western Kentucky and western Tennessee.
The goldstripe darter is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish, a darter from the subfamily Etheostomatinae, part of the family Percidae, which also contains the perches, ruffes and pikeperches. It is endemic to the southeastern United States where it is found in Gulf Slope streams from the Colorado River drainage in Texas to the Flint River in Georgia, the Atlantic Slope in Ocmulgee River system, Georgia, and the Mississippi embayment north as far as southeastern Missouri and western Kentucky. It is typically found in small springs, streams, and creeks with aquatic and marginal vegetation and detritus. The female spawns on multiple occasions between about mid-March and June, sticking the adhesive eggs to plants, gravel and the sides of rocks. The goldstripe darter is a common species with a wide range and numerous sub-populations, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".
