The Apalachee shiner (Pteronotropis grandipinnis) is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to the southeastern United States.
[3] A blueish-black stripe along the side extends to a black oval found at the base of the caudal fin.
A breeding male does not possess a light edge along the black dorsal fin when compared to the sailfin shiner, but has a chevron-shaped black blotch at the base of the caudal fin.
The fish is absent from the Chattahoochee River system north of Cedar Creek in Houston County, Alabama.
[2] The fish is common among sand-bottomed and silt-bottomed creeks and small rivers.
