Description
The Yellowfin Shiner (Notropis lutipinnis) occurs in the Edisto, Savannah, Altamaha, and Chattahoochee drainages of South Carolina and Georgia. This species may also be found in the uppermost reaches of the Little Tennessee River system in North Carolina. Though its range does extend below the Fall Line, most of it is above it, and their populations seem to increase with the altitude. Within its range, it is a very common species, and easily accessible, often found in very shallow streams and ditches.
Maxing out at 3 inches in length.
Yellowfin Shiners can be identified by the following characteristics. The upper half of their bodies is a brownish color. A black stripe extends from the tip of a terminal mouth to the end of the caudal fin. Beginning behind the eye, a thin blue neon line runs along the top edge of the black stripe. The lower half is a whitish color. Fins, true to their name, are often yellow
