Need help identifying a fish

[WillCostello]

Ok, So I dont have a picture, But I go to a small creek and they're loaded with what looks like a sucker fish but its black and has horizontal stripes. I tried looking on the KY fish identification pdf but theres nothing that looks like it. Anyone know what im talking about?

Try a search under google images for "fish".

If the stripes were vertical, and not horizontal, it sounds a lot like what we used to call a "military minnow" some call a hock sucker.

Most creek chubs have a mouth like a sucker fish and one long horizontal stripe.

Yeah, for some reason my phone changed "hog" to "hock" which makes a lot of sense LOL
