With Dr. Tony Echelle, Dr. Stan Fox, and approximately 25 students. Oklahoma State University Department of Zoology - Biology of Fishes, Amphibians, and Reptiles (Zoology 4115) field-trip. I was TA'ing.

Catalogued at OSU Collection of Vertebrates. OSU COV 27698.

Second photo shows seven Cyprinid species from same collection event. Top to bottom: Blacktail Shiner (Cyprinella venusta), Redfin Shiner (Lythrurus umbratilis), Striped Shiner (Luxilus chrysocephalus), Bigeye Shiner (Notropis boops), Sand Shiner (Notropis stramineus), Rocky Shiner (Notropis suttkusi), and Bluntnose Minnow (Pimephales notatus).

This is by far the weirdest fish I’ve ever caught. This is a totally wild caught fish. I’ve never seen an albino Madtom before but here it is. I’m surprised it made it this far without getting eaten. Caught this with a group seineing. Has anyone else seen this before? @riverrat09 @max133
