The last pic is of a parasite infested fish. Could not determine, but guess not that it is VHS related. It is being eaten up by parasites tho. Bottom up!

Not a Creek Chub, or any other. Probably a sub species product that inter mingle in the shiner world.


What? Parasite infested? Huu?

If you take more photos try putting 2 or 3 in water in a zip loc bag. Sometimes that provides a good picture showing details of the fish. It is possible they are young common shiner.


Good call on the zip lock. I will give that a try. I held these in my hand all the way to the house then took pictures of them. The last picture was a larger one we netted.

See if I can crank up the DPI on the camera.

Cheers Don.
