Mark, I believe they are actually GSH, but Zett's calls them Silver Shiners. There was a brief discussion on this very issue some time ago and the opinion was that it may just be a marketing angle with the fish. GSH, as I understand it, are actually only gold during their spawning cycle. Every GSH I've ever seen has been silver, so obviously I've never seen them during spawning. You'd be safe getting them, I think.
