Notropis is a genus of freshwater fish in the familyCyprinidae. They are known commonly as eastern shiners.[1] They are native to North America, and are the continent's second largest genus.[2][3]
Members of the genus Notropis have eight dorsal rays and usually have no barbel (with the exception of Redeye chub). Scales for most species are not usually that much taller than they are wide. Their scales are usually not diamond shaped.
Their intestines are short and usually have one loop at the front.[3]
