ການຈະເລີນເຕັມໄວ: Lm? range ? - ? cm Max length : 7.8 cm TL ຕົວຜູ້/ບໍ່ມີເພດ; (Ref. 86798); common length : 4.5 cm TL ຕົວຜູ້/ບໍ່ມີເພດ; (Ref. 12193)
Adults occur in springs, their effluents, and spring-fed ponds and lakes (Ref. 5723, 86798). Not a seasonal killifish. Is difficult to maintain in aquarium (Ref. 27139). Migratory behaviour is undetermined (Ref. 126106).
Its reproductive strategies differ from many spring-dwelling pupfishes. Cyprinodon n. amargosae is a group spawner. Males do not establish and defend territories as do males of spring-dwelling subspecies. Instead, a reproductive male usually directs a receptive female to the periphery of the group where spawning occurs, although spawning may even take place in the center of the group (www.death-valley.us).
