The burrhead shiner (Notropis asperifrons) is a species of cyprinid fish. It is endemic to the United States and occurs in the Alabama and Black Warrior River systems in southeastern Tennessee , northwestern Georgia, and Alabama, mostly above the Fall Line.[1][3] It grows to 7.5 cm (3.0 in) total length.[3] It can be locally common and occurs in rocky and sandy pools and runs of clear creeks and small rivers, usually on or near bottom.[1] It is state threatened in Georgia, however.[4]
