The bluntnose minnow (Pimephales notatus) is a species of temperate freshwater fish belonging to the Pimephales genus of the cyprinid family. Its natural geographic range extends from the Great Lakes south along the Mississippi River basin to Louisiana, and east across the Midwestern United States to New York State. The bluntnose is very ubiquitous, and may be the most common freshwater fish in the Eastern U.S.
