Default Fish ID

Tried to ID this fish my kid netted in a little stream in middlesex county today, but couldn't figure it out on any of the online sites....anybody have any ideas?
shading like a killie, but its mouth was way too pointy I think?

I don't know what it is but I have seen something like them all stacked up on Monksville shore line during the summer. I know I see sunnies and perch but always when I see them I think of guppies.

This is a total shot in the dark, but it looks like it could be a walleye fry.

Wow - this is a tough one.

Using my Peterson Field Guide, I'm going to make a guess that it's a juvenile Longnose Dace or maybe a White Sucker.

Good call, eskimo! i think it may be a dace, there were definitely other, larger dace around, but they didnt have the pointy nose that this guy had
