Common Dace - Leuciscus leuciscus
Common Dace - Leuciscus leuciscus (Linnaeus, 1758) [more of this species]
A riverine species most similar to a small chub. The main difference is the shape of the anal fins. In the dace they convex shaped where as in chub they are concave. Dace also have a smaller mouth and the scales are dark at the base, where as chub scales have pigmentation only on the edges and not the base.
