NFC: red, redfin, rainbow???
ok, after reading many posts in the nfc and nanfc archives, and variuos
other places, I am more confused now than ever.
I understand that the Red SHINER is marketed as the RAINBOW DACE and
sometimes as the RAINBOW DANIO and that I own 2 males. Depending on
lighting and angle of view these have silver/blue/violet bodies and pinkish
red/pastel orange fins.
But i have also heard of redFIN shiners, RAINBOW SHINERS, and I think
another fish called a rainbow dace (henceforth refered to as "TURE rainbow
dace).
and i think i understand that one of these might be another name for a type
of chub.
SO, anyone want ot clue me in on the differences between these fish?
pics would help.
also, an explanation of exactly what the differnce is between a dace, a
shiner, and a chub.
and for that matter, how does the north american fish called shiners, dace
and chub, compare to the europeon fish that they are named after?
