Silverside

Brook - Brook silversides are a surface feeding fish often found in the quieter sections of larger waters traveling in schools.

Inland - Usually found in coastal areas, the inland silverside is also distinguished from the brook silverside because it has a stouter and more rounded body, fewer anal fin rays (16 to 18), fewer predorsal scales (14 to 16), and fewer lateral scales (36 to 44).
