Thanks and I am sure you are correct. I have always known it as a Dace family but with the way different areas around this country call things, ( I am tired of trying to figure out what is a perch and a sunfish based on where your from LOL ) I was thinking that if the person was from that area then he may know them as such. I personally would rather go by the correct name ie. Pimephales promelas then at least we would know what we are looking for. But alas maybe thats the nerd engineer in me that likes dealing with facts and verfiable details.

As for the DANCE or DACE minnows I am sure they call themselfs something entirely different \:D and as such we are both incorrect!! :rolleyes:
