The largemouth shiner (Cyprinella bocagrande) is a critically endangered species of cyprinid fish. It is found only in the Guzmán Basin in northwestern Chihuahua, Mexico,[2] where it is called sardinita bocagrande.[1] In 2012, it only survived in a single spring, which also was the last remaining habitat for the Carbonera pupfish (Cyprinodon fontinalis) and the dwarf crayfish . As this single spring was declining, it was decided to move some individuals of all three species to a nearby refuge in 2014 as a safeguard.[3] The largemouth shiner grows to a standard length of 4.1 cm (1.6 in).[2]
