The finescale dace (Chrosomus neogaeus), or bronze minnow, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, which includes the daces, chubs and related fishes. It is native to the northern portions of Minnesota, with relatively smaller populations in northern New York, Vermont, New Hampshire (where C. neogaeus is found in only Connecticut and Androscoggin River drainages north of the White Mountains), and Maine.
