Thanks for the clarification on the names. Most sites had them listed as red horse/head shiners. I am definitely talking about the red shiners not the large suckers. I actually have seen these in local creeks with the bright red colors for a few weeks a year.
I know the golden shiners would be the preferred LMB forage dude to size and shape. Thinking in the ways of a bluegill pond or crappie pond, it states this shiner only grows (2"-3") max and seems to have same habits of nesting and appetite as the larger golden shiner. Possible forage fish paired along with slower fatheads?
