Cyprinella is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae, the carps and minnows. They are known as the satinfin shiners.[1] They are native to North America, and some are among the most common freshwater fish species on the eastern side of the continent.[2]
The largest species reach around 12 centimeters in length. Breeding males often develop bright coloration.[2] Fish of the genus produce audible sounds during courtship and conflict.[3]
