Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
; acqua dolce benthopelagico; non migratori (Ref. 126106). Temperate; 15°C - 25°C (Ref. 2059); 38°N - 29°N
North America: Mississippi River basins from eastern Tennessee, western Kentucky, southern Illinois and central Missouri south to Gulf of Mexico (west to central Oklahoma) in the USA; Gulf Slope drainages from Chattahoochee River in Georgia to Galveston Bay in Texas, USA.

Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 27139); common length : 7.5 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 12193)
Adults inhabit near surface of quiet to flowing water, usually near margins of clear, sandy to gravelly headwaters, creeks and small rivers. 9.7 cm max TL (Ref. 5723). They feed on terrestrial arthropods, aquatic insects, small crustaceans, and diatoms (Ref. 10294). Spawning occurs over gravel (Ref. 79012). Not a seasonal killifish.
