Inhabits sandy pools of headwaters, creeks and small to large rivers. Also occurs in quiet areas of lakes (Ref. 5723, 10294). Feeds on microcrustacea, midge larvae and pupae, and some terrestrial insects (Ref. 10294). Very similar to Notropis cahabae (Ref. 5723).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00413 - 0.01528), b=3.08 (2.91 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (tmax=2).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
