Heppy - I agree that your fish is probably a rosyside dace. Mouth size is right, similar sized, scales are correct and coloration is appropriate for the male; females have more drab color. Rosyside dace spawn in streams mostly using the active nests of creek chubs and white sucker, thus the chance is very low to not happening for these minnows spawning in your pond.
