Red horse minnow or red horse shiner. Native small carp. Max size 3-4 inches. We use them in the Guadalupe for bait.

I thought it was just a regular minnow but the males get colorful before they mate?

Red shiner. Commonly called a redhorse, but that's a whole other group of fish that are suckers. That's a male in full breeding color. Member of the carp and minnow family.
No fish is too good for the grease.
