It is not perfect for every watershed, but I think it gives you a decent idea of what species may be commonly found in your area.

Fish Map of Your Local Watershed

This map is pretty interesting. It seems that there are a lot of moving water species.

I saw some stuff like:

Eastern Silvery Minnows

Fieryblack Shiners

Spottail Shiners

That live in moving water, but either spawn over vegetation or in crevices in logs or under rocks. They might be candidates for pond life?
