My boyfriend owns a huge ranch with many cattle water troughs. He tells me that there is a type of fish in the troughs that is like a minnow but they are blue and green. Are there species of minnow that are colorful?

I think that if you post this in freshwater general with 'texas native fish question' in the title, you might get a pretty quick response.

There are tons of fish species that call North america home that are very colorful.

Here is a very good book that I use as a field guide for Texas fish. Texas Freshwater Fishes
