Quoth tony regarding NANFA-- question about rosefin shin:

As for the striped shiner, most of the time they are rather plain,
showing silvery color with black crescent marks on the flanks. I
have seen them in full nuptual coloration, and it is great, but most
of the time they just look like generic minners.

Prost,
