This is another image from a recent snorkeling venture.    

This is a hornyhead chub, which is a common bait fish in this particular river.    When breeding, these fish get bumps on their head, hence the name.    Often trout anglers are very disappointed when an apparent trout is identified as a chub on their line.   

This is a wild fish shot in ambient light.   Most of the time I use a shutter speed of 1/125 or 1/160 as these are the slowest shutter speeds that I can still get a clear image while handholding. 

1/160 f7.1 Iso 400 @ 60mm 

Thank you very much for looking and for any comments!

Another nice photo of the fish in habitat. The red patch near the eye is really attractive.

Another fine fish portrait - nice diagonal composition and stream bed colors.

Very nice shot, the colors of the rocks and surrounds really add a lot here.
