The Red River shiner (Notropis bairdi) is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis .
It is endemic to the United States, where it is found in the Red River in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.
The emerald shiner is one of hundreds of small, silvery, slender fish species known as shiners. The identifying characteristic of the emerald shiner is the silvery emerald color on its sides. It can grow to 3.5 inches in length and is found across North America from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, commonly in large, deep lakes and rivers, though sometimes in smaller bodies of water as well. It feeds on small organisms such as zooplankton and insects, congregating in large groups near the surface of the water. It is a quite common fish and is often used as a bait fish.
The telescope shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis. Notropis telescopus is primarily found in a small range of waters located in the Southeastern Region of the United States. There is very little published record of the research and management involving the telescope shiner. The following research will provide information on this species that can be helpful toward monitoring efforts of Notropis telescopus populations. The primary population of telescope shiners occurs throughout drainages of the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers. This population is distributed throughout Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama. A second known population occurs in Arkansas and Missouri and is found in the White and Black river systems.
Notropis is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae. They are known commonly as eastern shiners. They are native to North America, and are the continent's second largest genus.
The smalleye shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found only in the upper Brazos River basin of Texas, which includes the Double Mountain and Salt forks of the upper Brazos.

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 dusky shiner is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Notropis. It is endemic to the United States, where it is found in the lower Tar River drainage, North Carolina, south to Altamaha River drainage in Georgia, the St. Johns River drainage in Florida, and the Aucilla River drainage to Choctawhatchee River drainage, Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.
The Arkansas River shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis. It is native to part of the central United States. Historically this shiner was widespread and abundant throughout the western portions of the Arkansas River basin in Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. It is extirpated from the River in Kansas and Oklahoma. Recently, the species was almost entirely confined to about 820 km of the Canadian River in Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico, but it has been introduced and is now widely established in Pecos River in New Mexico.
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 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.

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.
