Spotfin  Chub
By Hannah

The Spotfin Chub scientific name is Turquoise  Shiner.

        Some of the descriptions I found was it is one of the smaller fishes. It's also slender. It grows to be about 4 inches in length! The nonbreeding males have gray, olive, or tan backs. They also have bright silvery sides and white bellies. A dark spot is visible at the
end of its tail but you have to look closely. Spotfin chubs reach sexual maturity at 2 years of age. Spotfin Chub doesn't live past 3 years of age. The fish is historically known from the Tennessee River to Virginia, North Carolina and Alabama.
