ID this fish please

[Pshmock]

Found it in my pond while I was clearing out some leaves. There's a pretty large school of them. I figured id post it here since i found them in my pond.

Looks like a sub-adult finescale dace (Phoxinus neogaeus)

^ Wrong. This is fathead minnow in bad shape.

Need to see an adult. With 48 species of minnows native in NY state, it could be a coin toss for several species.

You won't find any subadults at this time of year.....This is clearly a fathead minnow in bad shape. Don't even need a coin toss.

I personally find minnows hard to id, but this one does look alot like a very unhealthy fathead. i'd quarantine this minnow forsure, until he gets healthier

Looks like a fathead to me. The stripe looks nothing like a finescale dace.
