More than 100 species of fish live in Nebraska. Dozens of little fish live in out-of-the-way creeks and puddles. Some, like the northern redbelly dace, came to Nebraska with the glaciers of the last Ice Age. Other species, like the paddlefish, have persisted virtually unchanged for hundreds of millions of years.
