This small, slender fish gets its
name from the gold or brassy
colour of its sides. Males have a
deeper colour than the females,
particularly during breeding
season. The back is olive-green
and the belly is creamy white.
A dark band is usually visible along
the side of the fish. It has larger
scales than most other minnows.
Females tend to be larger than
males.
The brassy minnow is on the Blue
List in B.C, so is considered to be at
risk in the province. Some of the
populations in central B.C. have
disappeared altogether, while
others live in water bodies
susceptible to urban pollution and
habitat problems.
