Notemigonus crysoleucas
Golden shiners live mainly in lakes, ponds, and swamps, as they don't like strong currents.
Juvenile golden shiners have silver scales, while the adults have more of a gold hue, like their name suggests.
Golden shiners may grow up to 12 inches, though 3 to 9 inches is common.
Pikes, gars, and walleyes are among the predators of the golden shiner.
