Rosyface chub

The rosyface chub (Hybopsis rubrifrons) is a species of freshwater fish in the carp family (Cyprinidae), found in the United States.

[4] The range of the rosyface chub includes the Saluda, Savannah, Edisto, and Altamaha river drainages.

[1] Rosyface chubs make good aquarium fish as they are quite hardy and sociable.

[5] While the population of the species is currently considered stable, they are of concern because of their small range, only found in a few major drainages in the state.

Concerns for the species are similar to those of other fish in South Carolina: source pollution, deforestation, loss of riparian corridors, impoundment development, siltation resulting from poor land use practice, and poorly urban and suburban development.
