Potahsa is a pot belly minnow but my paw calls all baitfish by that name.

It was always my understanding that the Gulf Killifish is a cocaho minnow, aka larsh.

Also, a Fat Sleeper is what is known as a Storm Minnow, the bigger, softer iteration of the cocaho that comes out in the big late summer tides and especially tropical systems. Beautiful little thing with a large blue spot near its head.

A Potahsa used to be a perch.
