So I have 6 micros on this list and I will go through the defining features of them. #1 striped shiner, looks just like a common shiner but black stripes develop on the sides of them as they get larger.
#2 horny head chub looks just like a river chub but breeding makes will have a red or orange spot behind there eye.
#3 mottled sculpin looks just like a banded sculpin bust its bands are mutch less defined and has more of a mottled color.
#4 black stripe top minnow looks just like a black spotted topminmow but its fine are more rounded the lateral line ends o the bottom jaw and it has way fewer black spots.
#5 bluntnose minnow looks a lot like a baby creek chub but its face is much more compressed and it has a obvious black spot right at the base of the tail
#6 spot fin shiner looks just like a steel color shiner but the black spot on the dorsal fin immediately gives it away
