I like the identification of 47 as Campostoma anomalum. The environment
is only very slightly hilly, but the creek had large boulders of
sandstone scattered about.
#12: I found a survey of Houston area fish online. Both Notropis
ludibundus and N. amabilis have been collected in the general vicinity
of where this one was collected, according to the survey. Is there any
chance it could be the latter?
Thanks again.
