A red horse minnow looks almost just like a tiny redfish. I found a few in my crappie minnows last time I got some in San Angelo. Do an image search for bluntnose minnow. These are the fabled "red horse" minnows people are referring to. Not the Red shiner.

A bluntnose minnow is the same as a fathead minnow, which is the same a rosy red, just the dominant black gene, I think

The blunt nose minnow (Pimephales notatus) is closely related to the fat head AKA Rosey red minnow, and just as common, but blunt nosed shiners (Notropis simus) are listed as endangered. One subspecies is extinct. I didn't find any place that was calling them red horse minnows though, and they are only found in the Rio grande, or water shed of the Rio Grande. They are pretty much, even in breeding colors, a sliver shiner.

That's a typical spot tail fishing minnow. When I was a kid there were lots of 'red horse' minnows on the Colorado river lakes. Now gone.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, he will sit in a boat all day and drink beer.

Catch em out of the river by the 100's...we use pickle jars with a wire cone in the opening. put it on a sandbar where there is decent current, and you can catch all you want!!

The Red Shiner is what we called a Red Horse when I was a kid. Caught lots of them in minnow jugs in Red River. That was way back before there were NO stripers in the river and we could slay the sand bass with them.

That's the one I'm used to catching. Pretty little things.
